Jakub Kicinski 79ffe6087e net/tls: add a TX lock
TLS TX needs to release and re-acquire the socket lock if send buffer
fills up.

TLS SW TX path currently depends on only allowing one thread to enter
the function by the abuse of sk_write_pending. If another writer is
already waiting for memory no new ones are allowed in.

This has two problems:
 - writers don't wake other threads up when they leave the kernel;
   meaning that this scheme works for single extra thread (second
   application thread or delayed work) because memory becoming
   available will send a wake up request, but as Mallesham and
   Pooja report with larger number of threads it leads to threads
   being put to sleep indefinitely;
 - the delayed work does not get _scheduled_ but it may _run_ when
   other writers are present leading to crashes as writers don't
   expect state to change under their feet (same records get pushed
   and freed multiple times); it's hard to reliably bail from the
   work, however, because the mere presence of a writer does not
   guarantee that the writer will push pending records before exiting.

Ensuring wakeups always happen will make the code basically open
code a mutex. Just use a mutex.

The TLS HW TX path does not have any locking (not even the
sk_write_pending hack), yet it uses a per-socket sg_tx_data
array to push records.
