I suggested a change of locking in do_tls_getsockopt_conf this
morning [1]. The issue reported last seemed valid, but this patch is not
at all what I had in mind.

do_tls_setsockopt_conf fills crypto_info immediately from what
userspace gives us (and clears it on exit in case of failure), which
getsockopt could see since it's not locking the socket when it checks
TLS_CRYPTO_INFO_READY. So getsockopt would progress up to the point it
finally locks the socket, but if setsockopt failed, we could have
cleared TLS_CRYPTO_INFO_READY and freed iv/rec_seq.
