[PATCH v5 5/6] bpf: clear decap tunnel GSO state in skb_adjust_room

On shrink in bpf_skb_adjust_room(), clear tunnel-specific GSO flags
according to the decapsulation flags:

- BPF_F_ADJ_ROOM_DECAP_L4_UDP clears SKB_GSO_UDP_TUNNEL{,_CSUM}
- BPF_F_ADJ_ROOM_DECAP_L4_GRE clears SKB_GSO_GRE{,_CSUM}
- BPF_F_ADJ_ROOM_DECAP_IPXIP4 clears SKB_GSO_IPXIP4
- BPF_F_ADJ_ROOM_DECAP_IPXIP6 clears SKB_GSO_IPXIP6

When all tunnel-related GSO bits are cleared, also clear
skb->encapsulation.

Handle the ESP inside a UDP tunnel case where encapsulation should remain
set.
