Dmitry Safonov 51e547e8c8 tcp: Free TCP-AO/TCP-MD5 info/keys without RCU ...

Now that the destruction of info/keys is delayed until the socket
destructor, it's safe to use kfree() without an RCU callback.
The socket is in TCP_CLOSE state either because it never left it,
or it's already closed and the refcounter is zero. In any way,
no one can discover it anymore, it's safe to release memory
straight away.

Similar thing was possible for twsk already.
