It would be great to have the permanent redirect feature implemented
also for BPF_SK_SKB_STREAM_VERDICT and BPF_SK_SKB_VERDICT. I don't think
there are any obstacles to support it for both input configurations.

But in SK_SKB verdict prog we don't have apply_bytes. So we couldn't
keep the API the same without introducing a helper.

That's why I'd go with the flag.
