tls: reject the combination of TLS and sockmap
TLS and sockmap (BPF psock) integration hides a lot of latent bugs.
Bugs which may be more or less relevant for real users but they
are definitely exploitable.
We could not find anyone actively using this integration so let's
reject this config. Adding a TLS socket to a sockmap was already
rejected by sk_psock_init() through the inet_csk_has_ulp() check.
We need to reject the attempts to configure the TLS keys (rather
than adding the ULP itself) because checking prior to the ULP
installation is tricky without risking a race with sockmap getting
added in parallel (sockmap does not hold the socket lock).
This patch is a minimal rejection of the feature. Subsequent patch
in the series will do a light dead code removal. Full cleanup would
require a major rewrite of the Tx path, we don't need skmsg any more.
