tcp_bpf: Fix one concurrency problem in the tcp_bpf_send_verdict function

commit cd9733f5 upstream.

With two Msgs, msgA and msgB and a user doing nonblocking sendmsg calls (or
multiple cores) on a single socket 'sk' we could get the following flow.

 msgA, sk                               msgB, sk
 -----------                            ---------------
 tcp_bpf_sendmsg()
 lock(sk)
 psock = sk->psock
                                        tcp_bpf_sendmsg()
                                        lock(sk) ... blocking
tcp_bpf_send_verdict
if (psock->eval == NONE)
   psock->eval = sk_psock_msg_verdict
 ..
 < handle SK_REDIRECT case >
   release_sock(sk)                     < lock dropped so grab here >
   ret = tcp_bpf_sendmsg_redir
                                        psock = sk->psock
                                        tcp_bpf_send_verdict
 lock_sock(sk) ... blocking on B
                                        if (psock->eval == NONE) <- boom.
                                         psock->eval will have msgA state

The problem here is we dropped the lock on msgA and grabbed it with msgB.
Now we have old state in psock and importantly psock->eval has not been
cleared. So msgB will run whatever action was done on A and the verdict
program may never see it.
