net/rds: Fix circular locking dependency in rds_tcp_tune
syzbot reported a circular locking dependency in rds_tcp_tune() where
sk_net_refcnt_upgrade() is called while holding the socket lock:
======================================================
WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
======================================================
kworker/u10:8/15040 is trying to acquire lock:
ffffffff8e9aaf80 (fs_reclaim){+.+.}-{0:0},
at: __kmalloc_cache_noprof+0x4b/0x6f0
but task is already holding lock:
ffff88805a3c1ce0 (k-sk_lock-AF_INET6){+.+.}-{0:0},
at: rds_tcp_tune+0xd7/0x930
The issue occurs because sk_net_refcnt_upgrade() performs memory
allocation (via get_net_track() -> ref_tracker_alloc()) while the
socket lock is held, creating a circular dependency with fs_reclaim.
Fix this by moving sk_net_refcnt_upgrade() outside the socket lock
critical section. This is safe because the fields modified by
