[Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH 14/15] net, xdp: allow metadata > 32

From: Aleksander Lobakin <aleksander.lobakin at intel.com>

When using XDP hints, metadata sometimes has to be much bigger
than 32 bytes. Relax the restriction, allow metadata larger than 32 bytes
and make __skb_metadata_differs() work with bigger lengths.

Now size of metadata is only limited by the fact it is stored as u8
in skb_shared_info, so maximum possible value is 255. Other important
conditions, such as having enough space for xdp_frame building, are already
checked in bpf_xdp_adjust_meta().

The requirement of having its length aligned to 4 bytes is still
valid.
