I had to extend sk_buff because it does not stay in tun but moves back
and forth between qdisc and tun.

The new members of sk_buff and qdisc_skb_cb are stored by tun's
ndo_select_queue(). The control will go back to qdisc after
ndo_select_queue() function finishes. Eventually tun's ndo_start_xmit()
will be called by qdisc and consumes the stored members. qdisc is
required to keep the stored members intact.

tun_vnet_hash is a bit special. It is put into sk_buff because
ndo_select_queue() is not always called and it may be left
uninitialized. ndo_start_xmit() may read some garbage from cb's old user
if it is put into cb.
