Since the original request, Google has also requested that these commits
should land in generic. We will backport to Noble/Oracular instead of
the gcp variant.

Bug description:
GCP is requesting a backport of the patch "83134ef46093 netkit: Add
option for scrubbing skb meta data" from upstream to the 6.8 gcp
kernel.
The following patch is required for the backport:
beddfc856efec9f8ec148b4524a434a34c49511c netkit: Add option for scrubbing
skb meta data
Impact:
- GCP states that they would like to leverage NetKit for better networking
performance, and that recent fixes that have landed in mainline are necessary
to avoid bugs when using Cilium.
Testing:
- Boot-tested the changes in GCP environment on amd64 hardware.
Regression potential:
- The changes are limited to the NetKit driver. Regression potential could
impact hardware utilizing these devices. Risk is considered low as the changes
are limited and apply cleanly from upstream. The requested patch is from 6.13.
