Syzbot found an issue [1]: fq_codel_drop() try to drop a flow whitout any
skbs, that is, the flow->head is null.
The root cause, as the [2] says, is because that bpf_prog_test_run_skb()
run a bpf prog which redirects empty skbs.
So we should determine whether the length of the packet modified by bpf
prog is valid before forwarding it directly.

Daniel, do you see any issues with this approach?

I think it's fine, maybe this could be folded into:

/* make sure the fields we don't use are zeroed */
if (!range_is_zero(__skb, 0, offsetof(struct __sk_buff, mark)))

I wonder if we might also want to add some WARN_ON to the
__bpf_redirect_common routine gated by #ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_NET ?
In case syscaller manages to hit similar issues elsewhere..

Assuming the issue is generic (and CONFIG_DEBUG_NET only enabled by things like
syzkaller), couldn't we do something like the below?
