bpf: tcp: Stop bpf_setsockopt(TCP_CONGESTION) in init ops to recur itself
When a bad bpf prog '.init' calls bpf_setsockopt(TCP_CONGESTION, "itself"), it will trigger this loop: .init => bpf_setsockopt(tcp_cc) => .init => bpf_setsockopt(tcp_cc) ... ... => .init => bpf_setsockopt(tcp_cc). It was prevented by the prog->active counter before but the prog->active detection cannot be used in struct_ops as explained in the earlier patch of the set. In this patch, the second bpf_setsockopt(tcp_cc) is not allowed in order to break the loop. This is done by using a bit of an existing 1 byte hole in tcp_sock to check if there is on-going bpf_setsockopt(TCP_CONGESTION) in this tcp_sock. Note that this essentially limits only the first '.init' can call bpf_setsockopt(TCP_CONGESTION) to pick a fallback cc (eg. peer does not support ECN) and the second '.init' cannot fallback to another cc. This applies even the second bpf_setsockopt(TCP_CONGESTION) will not cause a loop.
