exposing tcp state to tcp-bpf program means that internal enum
in include/net/tcp_states.h
enum {
        TCP_ESTABLISHED = 1,
        TCP_SYN_SENT,
        TCP_SYN_RECV,
        TCP_FIN_WAIT1,
        TCP_FIN_WAIT2,
...
becomes uapi.
Also since it's only exposed from tcp side, the same sk_state
field used by other protocols is not exposed and things like
DCCP_PASSIVE_CLOSEREQ stay kernel internal.
I think it's ok.
If we would need to add new tcp state we can always add
it to the end of the enum.
Also it's better to make this explicit and move this enum to
uapi/linux/tcp_states.h or ...

An alternative would be to have an array that does state
remapping just to be consumed by bpf program which is ugly
and slow.

Another alternative would be to add:
enum {
        BPF_TCP_ESTABLISHED = 1,
        BPF_TCP_SYN_SENT,
        BPF_TCP_SYN_RECV,
        BPF_TCP_FIN_WAIT1,
to uapi/linux/bpf.h
and have BUILD_BUG_ON(BPF_TCP_ESTABLISHED != TCP_ESTABLISHED);
and in case somebody touches that enum in the middle
the issue will be caught.

I'd like to hear Dave and Eric opinion here.
