Meta has been using BPF programs to monitor tcp_sendmsg() for years,
indicating significant interest in observing this important
functionality. Adding a proper tracepoint provides a stable API for all
users who need visibility into TCP message transmission.

David Ahern is using a similar functionality with a custom patch[1]. So,
this means we have more than a single use case for this request, and it
might be a good idea to have such feature upstream.

Changes in v2:
- Change to a full tracepoint inside tcp_sendmsg_locked(), heavily
  inspired in David's patch
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250224-tcpsendmsg-v1-1-bac043c59cc8@debian.org
