Subject: [PATCH net] tcp: md5: add missing memory barriers in tcp_md5_do_add()/tcp_md5_hash_key()

MD5 keys are read with RCU protection, and tcp_md5_do_add()
might update in-place a prior key.

Normally, typical RCU updates would allocate a new piece
of memory. In this case only key->key and key->keylen might
be updated, and we do not care if an incoming packet could
see the old key, the new one, or some intermediate value,
since changing the key on a live flow is known to be problematic
anyway.

We only want to make sure that in the case key->keylen
is changed, cpus in tcp_md5_hash_key() wont try to use
uninitialized data, or crash because key->keylen was
read twice to feed sg_init_one() and ahash_request_set_crypt()

Fixes: 9ea88a153001 ("tcp: md5: check md5 signature without socket lock")
