tls: update the RX key when a KeyUpdate is received
This commit updates kTLS to derive and install the next RX key automatically
when a KeyUpdate handshake message is received on a socket with a registered
RX traffic secret. It also validates the KeyUpdate message format and rate
limits incoming KeyUpdate messages to at most 8 per second.

[Severity: High]
Won't these memcpy() calls trigger a CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE field-spanning
write warning when tls_check_pending_rekey() -> tls_keyupdate_rx() ->
tls_keyupdate_rekey() runs on a socket with a registered traffic secret?
In tls_keyupdate_rekey(), info is initialized as &tmp.info, which points to
the 4-byte struct tls_crypto_info subobject inside union tls_crypto_context
tmp.
The inlined helpers crypto_info_salt() and crypto_info_iv() offset from info
past the end of that 4-byte member:
net/tls/tls.h:
static inline char *crypto_info_iv(struct tls_crypto_info *crypto_info,
const struct tls_cipher_desc *cipher_desc)
{
return (char *)crypto_info + cipher_desc->iv_offset;
}
static inline char *crypto_info_salt(struct tls_crypto_info *crypto_info,
const struct tls_cipher_desc *cipher_desc)
{
return (char *)crypto_info + cipher_desc->salt_offset;
}
Because the destination pointer is derived from the union member &tmp.info
rather than the enclosing union tmp, __member_size() evaluates to 0 while
__struct_size() evaluates to the remaining space in tmp, causing fortified
memcpy() to warn on a field-spanning write.
This is the same union subobject bounds issue that commit c43c1c24f3cd ("tls:
avoid field-spanning write when copying crypto info") fixed in
do_tls_setsockopt_conf(). Could the destination offset be computed from &tmp
(or could crypto_info_salt() and crypto_info_iv() take union
tls_crypto_context *) to avoid the FORTIFY_SOURCE warning?
