IPv4 and IPv6 input preserve an skb->sk association installed by bpf_sk_assign() so that local delivery can use the selected socket under RCU.

Either path can put the skb on an unresolved multicast route queue or forward it after the receive-side RCU section ends. After the prefetched socket is destroyed, a later skb free invokes sock_pfree() and dereferences the stale skb->sk. Orphan the skb before each non-local multicast forwarding path. Local delivery retains the original skb; the existing skb_clone() calls provide multicast forwarding with a socket-free clone.

Several variables and structure fields have been converted to dscp_t already, but the main IPv4 routing structure, struct flowi4, is still using a __u8. To avoid any future regression, this patch converts it to dscp_t. There are many users to convert at once.
