net/handshake: Close the submit-side sock_hold race

handshake_req_submit() publishes the request via
handshake_req_hash_add() and __add_pending_locked(), drops
hn_lock, and calls handshake_genl_notify() (which can sleep)
before taking sock_hold() on req->hr_sk. A fast tlshd ACCEPT
followed by DONE can drive handshake_complete()'s sock_put()
into the window between the spin_unlock and the late
sock_hold(); on a system where the consumer's fd held the
only sk reference, the late sock_hold() then operates on an
sk whose refcount has reached zero.

The preceding two patches install an explicit file reference
on struct handshake_req. That file pins sock->file, which
pins the embedded struct socket, which defers inet_release()'s
sock_put(). As long as hr_file is held, sk cannot reach refcount
zero from the consumer side, and the submit-side sock_hold()
with its matching sock_put() calls in handshake_complete() and
handshake_req_cancel() is now redundant.

Drop all three. The file reference already keeps each request's
socket alive, and the lifetime story is contained in a single
get_file()/fput() pair.
