Subject: tcp: Do not call tcp_fastopen_reset_cipher from interrupt context

From: Christoph Paasch <cpaasch@apple.com>

[ Upstream commit dfea2aa654243f70dc53b8648d0bbdeec55a7df1 ]

tcp_fastopen_reset_cipher really cannot be called from interrupt
context. It allocates the tcp_fastopen_context with GFP_KERNEL and
calls crypto_alloc_cipher, which allocates all kind of stuff with
GFP_KERNEL.

Thus, we might sleep when the key-generation is triggered by an
incoming TFO cookie-request which would then happen in interrupt-
context, as shown by enabling CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP:

This patch moves the call to tcp_fastopen_init_key_once to the places
where a listener socket creates its TFO-state, which always happens in
user-context (either from the setsockopt, or implicitly during the
listen()-call)
