tls: Fix socket mem accounting error under async encryption
Current async encryption implementation sometimes showed up socket memory accounting error during socket close. This results in kernel warning calltrace. The root cause of the problem is that socket var sk_forward_alloc gets corrupted due to access in sk_mem_charge() and sk_mem_uncharge() being invoked from multiple concurrent contexts in multicore processor. The apis sk_mem_charge() and sk_mem_uncharge() are called from functions alloc_plaintext_sg(), free_sg() etc. It is required that memory accounting apis are called under a socket lock. The plaintext sg data sent for encryption is freed using free_sg() in tls_encryption_done(). It is wrong to call free_sg() from this function. This is because this function may run in irq context. We cannot acquire socket lock in this function. We remove calling of function free_sg() for plaintext data from tls_encryption_done() and defer freeing up of plaintext data to the time when the record is picked up from tx_list and transmitted/freed. When tls_tx_records() gets called, socket is already locked and thus there is no concurrent access problem.
