Thanks, Masahiro.

Neil, Jiri, another option (long term) is to add a raw tracepoint (not
part of ABI) in devlink and have drop monitor register its probe on it
when monitoring.

Two advantages:
1. Consistent with what drop monitor is already doing with kfree_skb()
tracepoint
2. We can remove 'imply NET_DROP_MONITOR' altogether

What do you think?
