bpf: Treat bpf_sk_lookup remote_port as a 2-byte field
In commit 9a69e2b ("bpf: Make remote_port field in struct
bpf_sk_lookup 16-bit wide") the remote_port field has been split up and
re-declared from u32 to be16.
However, the accompanying changes to the context access converter have not
been well thought through when it comes big-endian platforms.
Today 2-byte wide loads from offsetof(struct bpf_sk_lookup, remote_port)
are handled as narrow loads from a 4-byte wide field.
This by itself is not enough to create a problem, but when we combine
1. 32-bit wide access to ->remote_port backed by a 16-wide wide load, with
2. inherent difference between litte- and big-endian in how narrow loads
need have to be handled (see bpf_ctx_narrow_access_offset),
we get inconsistent results for a 2-byte loads from &ctx->remote_port on LE
and BE architectures. This in turn makes BPF C code for the common case of
2-byte load from ctx->remote_port not portable.
To rectify it, inform the context access converter that remote_port is
2-byte wide field, and only 1-byte loads need to be treated as narrow
loads.
At the same time, we special-case the 4-byte load from &ctx->remote_port to
continue handling it the same way as do today, in order to keep the
existing BPF programs working.
