In tls_init(), a write memory barrier is missing, and store-store
reordering may cause NULL dereference in tls_{setsockopt,getsockopt}.

----- -----
// In tls_init()
// In tls_ctx_create()
ctx = kzalloc()
ctx->sk_proto = READ_ONCE(sk->sk_prot) -(1)
// In update_sk_prot()
WRITE_ONCE(sk->sk_prot, tls_prots) -(2)
// In sock_common_setsockopt()
READ_ONCE(sk->sk_prot)->setsockopt()
// In tls_{setsockopt,getsockopt}()
ctx->sk_proto->setsockopt() -(3)
In the above scenario, when (1) and (2) are reordered, (3) can observe
the NULL value of ctx->sk_proto, causing NULL dereference.
To fix it, we rely on rcu_assign_pointer() which implies the release
barrier semantic. By moving rcu_assign_pointer() after ctx->sk_proto is
initialized, we can ensure that ctx->sk_proto are visible when
changing sk->sk_prot.
