Have you tested this patch vs the syzbot reproducer?

I think the following race is still present:

CPU0                            CPU1
tls_sw_release_resources_tx     tls_encrypt_done
spin_lock_bh
spin_unlock_bh
                                spin_lock_bh
                                spin_unlock_bh
                                complete

wait
// ...
tls_sk_proto_close

                                test_and_set_bit(BIT_TX_SCHEDULED, &ctx->tx_bitmask
				// UaF

regardless of 'complete()' being invoked before or after the
'spin_unlock_bh()'.
