[PATCH 6.6] net/tcp-md5: Fix MAC comparison to be constant-time

[Eric Biggers <ebiggers@kernel.org>]

commit 46d0d6f50dab706637f4c18a470aac20a21900d3 upstream.

To prevent timing attacks, MACs need to be compared in constant
time.  Use the appropriate helper function for this.

Fixes: cfb6eeb4c860 ("[TCP]: MD5 Signature Option (RFC2385) support.")
Fixes: 658ddaaf6694 ("tcp: md5: RST: getting md5 key from listener")
