tcp: no longer hold ehash lock while calling tcp_get_info()
We had various problems in the past in tcp_get_info() and used specific synchronization to avoid deadlocks. We would like to add more instrumentation points for TCP, and avoiding grabing socket lock in tcp_getinfo() was too costly. Being able to lock the socket allows to provide consistent set of fields. inet_diag_dump_icsk() can make sure ehash locks are not held any more when tcp_get_info() is called. We can remove syncp added in commit d654976c ("tcp: fix a potential deadlock in tcp_get_info()"), but we need to use lock_sock_fast() instead of spin_lock_bh() since TCP input path can now be run from process context.
