tun: tun_chr_open(): correctly initialize socket uid

sock_init_data() assumes that the `struct socket` passed in input is
contained in a `struct socket_alloc` allocated with sock_alloc().
However, tun_chr_open() passes a `struct socket` embedded in a `struct
tun_file` allocated with sk_alloc().
This causes a type confusion when issuing a container_of() with
SOCK_INODE() in sock_init_data() which results in assigning a wrong
sk_uid to the `struct sock` in input.
On default configuration, the type confused field overlaps with the
high 4 bytes of `struct tun_struct __rcu *tun` of `struct tun_file`,
NULL at the time of call, which makes the uid of all tun sockets 0,
i.e., the root one.
Fix the assignment by using sock_init_data_uid().
