tls: improve lockless access safety of tls_err_abort()
[ Upstream commit 8a0d57df8938e9fd2e99d47a85b7f37d86f91097 ]
Most protos' poll() methods insert a memory barrier between
writes to sk_err and sk_error_report(). This dates back to
commit a4d258036ed9 ("tcp: Fix race in tcp_poll").
I guess we should do the same thing in TLS, tcp_poll() does
not hold the socket lock.
Fixes: 3c4d7559159b ("tls: kernel TLS support")
