bpf: Support selective sampling for bpf timestamping

Add the bpf_sock_ops_enable_tx_tstamp kfunc to allow BPF programs to
selectively enable TX timestamping on a skb during tcp_sendmsg().

For example, BPF program will limit tracking X numbers of packets
and then will stop there instead of tracing all the sendmsgs of
matched flow all along. It would be helpful for users who cannot
afford to calculate latencies from every sendmsg call probably
due to the performance or storage space consideration.
