[PATCH 1/8] SUNRPC: treat every TLS error alert as fatal

[Chuck Lever <cel@kernel.org>]

svc_tcp_sock_process_cmsg() decides whether an alert ends the session
by reading the alert's level octet. RFC 8446 Section 6 retired that
field. The severity is implicit in the description, and a receiver
treats every alert listed in Section 6.2 as an error alert
"regardless of the AlertLevel in the message". A peer that aborts
with unexpected_message but leaves the legacy octet set to warning
makes the server return -EAGAIN. svc_tcp_recvfrom() then leaves a
dead TLS session attached to an open transport. NFSD keeps polling
it.

Decide from the alert description instead. close_notify and
user_canceled are the closure alerts (RFC 8446 Section 6.1). Every
other description ends the session, including one this kernel does
not recognize.
