net: generalize calculation of skb extensions length
Remove the necessity to modify skb_ext_total_length() when new extension types are added. Also reduces the line count a bit. With optimizations enabled the function is folded down to the same constant value as before during compilation. This has been validated on x86 with GCC 6.5.0 and 13.2.1. Also a similar construct has been validated on godbolt.org with GCC 5.1. In any case the compiler has to be able to evaluate the construct at compile-time for the BUILD_BUG_ON() in skb_extensions_init(). Even if not evaluated at compile-time this function would only ever be executed once at run-time, so the overhead would be very minuscule.
