bpf: tcp: Avoid taking fast sock lock in iterator
[ Upstream commit 9378096e8a656fb5c4099b26b1370c56f056eab9 ]
This is a preparatory commit to replace `lock_sock_fast` with
`lock_sock`,and facilitate BPF programs executed from the TCP sockets
iterator to be able to destroy TCP sockets using the bpf_sock_destroy
kfunc (implemented in follow-up commits).
Previously, BPF TCP iterator was acquiring the sock lock with BH
disabled. This led to scenarios where the sockets hash table bucket lock
can be acquired with BH enabled in some path versus disabled in other.
In such situation, kernel issued a warning since it thinks that in the
BH enabled path the same bucket lock *might* be acquired again in the
softirq context (BH disabled), which will lead to a potential dead lock.
Since bpf_sock_destroy also happens in a process context, the potential
deadlock warning is likely a false alarm.
Here is a snippet of annotated stack trace that motivated this change:
```
Possible interrupt unsafe locking scenario:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
lock(&h->lhash2[i].lock);
local_bh_disable();
lock(&h->lhash2[i].lock);
kernel imagined possible scenario:
local_bh_disable(); /* Possible softirq */
lock(&h->lhash2[i].lock);

```
Also, Yonghong reported a deadlock for non-listening TCP sockets that
this change resolves. Previously, `lock_sock_fast` held the sock spin
lock with BH which was again being acquired in `tcp_abort`:
```

...

local_bh_disable();
spin_lock(&((sk)->sk_lock.slock)); // from bh_lock_sock(sk)
```
With the switch to `lock_sock`, it calls `spin_unlock_bh` before returning:
```
lock_sock
lock_sock_nested
spin_lock_bh(&sk->sk_lock.slock);
:
spin_unlock_bh(&sk->sk_lock.slock);
```
