Subject: [PATCH net-next] tcp: md5: Handle RCU dereference of md5sig_info

Dereference tp->md5sig_info in tcp_v4_destroy_sock() the same way it is
done in the adjacent call to tcp_clear_md5_list().

Resolves this sparse warning:

net/ipv4/tcp_ipv4.c:1914:17: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different address spaces)
net/ipv4/tcp_ipv4.c:1914:17:    expected struct callback_head *head
net/ipv4/tcp_ipv4.c:1914:17:    got struct callback_head [noderef] <asn:4>*<noident>
