Not anymore since v12? [*]

I think it's ok here because we're only using peer and sk (not
anything from ovpn_socket), but it is relevant in _sendmsg, which has
the same peer_hold pattern without this comment.

[*]
v11:
 - https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20241029-b4-ovpn-v11-8-de4698c73a25@openvpn.net/
   ovpn_peer_release -> ovpn_socket_put

v12:
 - https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20241202-b4-ovpn-v12-9-239ff733bf97@openvpn.net/
   ovpn_peer_release doesn't do ovpn_socket_put

 - https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20241202-b4-ovpn-v12-7-239ff733bf97@openvpn.net/
   ovpn_socket_put is done directly at ovpn_peer_remove time, before the final peer_put

Isn't that just sk?

Since we only have a ref on peer (but not on sock), I'd use
peer->... directly instead of sock->peer.
