sock: support SO_PRIORITY cmsg
The Linux socket API currently allows setting SO_PRIORITY at the socket level, applying a uniform priority to all packets sent through that socket. The exception to this is IP_TOS, when the priority value is calculated during the handling of ancillary data, as implemented in commit f02db315 ("ipv4: IP_TOS and IP_TTL can be specified as ancillary data"). However, this is a computed value, and there is currently no mechanism to set a custom priority via control messages prior to this patch. According to this patch, if SO_PRIORITY is specified as ancillary data, the packet is sent with the priority value set through sockc->priority, overriding the socket-level values set via the traditional setsockopt() method. This is analogous to the existing support for SO_MARK, as implemented in commit c6af0c22 ("ip: support SO_MARK cmsg"). If both cmsg SO_PRIORITY and IP_TOS are passed, then the one that takes precedence is the last one in the cmsg list. This patch has the side effect that raw_send_hdrinc now interprets cmsg IP_TOS.
