tcp, ulp: add alias for all ulp modules



Lets not turn the TCP ULP lookup into an arbitrary module loader as
we only intend to load ULP modules through this mechanism, not other
unrelated kernel modules:

  [root@bar]# cat foo.c
  #include <sys/types.h>
  #include <sys/socket.h>
  #include <linux/tcp.h>
  #include <linux/in.h>

  int main(void)
  {
      int sock = socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
      setsockopt(sock, IPPROTO_TCP, TCP_ULP, "sctp", sizeof("sctp"));
      return 0;
  }

  [root@bar]# gcc foo.c -O2 -Wall
  [root@bar]# lsmod | grep sctp
  [root@bar]# ./a.out
  [root@bar]# lsmod | grep sctp
  sctp                 1077248  4
  libcrc32c              16384  3 nf_conntrack,nf_nat,sctp
  [root@bar]#

Fix it by adding module alias to TCP ULP modules, so probing module
via request_module() will be limited to tcp-ulp-[name]. The existing
modules like kTLS will load fine given tcp-ulp-tls alias, but others
will fail to load:

  [root@bar]# lsmod | grep sctp
  [root@bar]# ./a.out
  [root@bar]# lsmod | grep sctp
  [root@bar]#

Sockmap is not affected from this since it's either built-in or not.
