bpf: Allow a TCP CC to write sk_pacing_rate and sk_pacing_status

A CC that implements tcp_congestion_ops.cong_control() should be able to
control sk_pacing_rate and set sk_pacing_status, since
tcp_update_pacing_rate() is never called in this case. A built-in CC or
one from a kernel module is already able to write to both struct sock
members. For a BPF program, write access has not been allowed, yet.
