bpf: tcp: Avoid taking fast sock lock in iterator
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); *** Potential Deadlock *** process context: lock_acquire+0xcd/0x330 _raw_spin_lock+0x33/0x40 ------> Acquire (bucket) lhash2.lock with BH enabled __inet_hash+0x4b/0x210 inet_csk_listen_start+0xe6/0x100 inet_listen+0x95/0x1d0 __sys_listen+0x69/0xb0 __x64_sys_listen+0x14/0x20 do_syscall_64+0x3c/0x90 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x72/0xdc bpf_sock_destroy run from iterator: lock_acquire+0xcd/0x330 _raw_spin_lock+0x33/0x40 ------> Acquire (bucket) lhash2.lock with BH disabled inet_unhash+0x9a/0x110 tcp_set_state+0x6a/0x210 tcp_abort+0x10d/0x200 bpf_prog_6793c5ca50c43c0d_iter_tcp6_server+0xa4/0xa9 bpf_iter_run_prog+0x1ff/0x340 ------> lock_sock_fast that acquires sock lock with BH disabled bpf_iter_tcp_seq_show+0xca/0x190 bpf_seq_read+0x177/0x450 ``` 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`: ``` watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 86s!
