Subject: [PATCH] tcp: Add skb addr and sock addr to arguments of tracepoint tcp_probe.

It is useful to expose skb addr and sock addr to user in tracepoint
tcp_probe, so that we can get more information while monitoring
receiving of tcp data, by ebpf or other ways.

For example, we need to identify a packet by seq and end_seq when
calculate transmit latency between lay 2 and lay 4 by ebpf, but which is
not available in tcp_probe, so we can only use kprobe hooking
tcp_rcv_esatblised to get them. But we can use tcp_probe directly if skb
addr and sock addr are available, which is more efficient.

Please target 'net-next' in the title of your v2 patch.

If they are useful, at least you should printk those two addresses
like what trace_kfree_skb() does.

May I ask how it could be useful if there is no more function printing
such information in the receive path?

Thanks,
