Why not? If you felt the need to add a comment saying we're canceling
the request, using a helper instead that says it does the canceling is
a pretty decent reason to add whatever argument
tls_device_rx_resync_async needs (or swap resync_async for the socket
if you don't want to add another argument).

Then they could easily be changed to make the 3 helpers consistent
(all taking resync_async), since
tls_offload_rx_resync_async_request_start/end are used exactly once
each.
