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 d654976cbf85
("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.
