net, xdp: Allow metadata > 32
32 bytes may be not enough for some custom metadata. 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. Size still has to be aligned to 4, so the actual upper limit becomes 252. Most driver implementations will offer less, none can offer more. Other important conditions, such as having enough space for xdp_frame building, are already checked in bpf_xdp_adjust_meta().
