tcp: fix tcp_set_congestion_control() use from bpf hook
Neal reported incorrect use of ns_capable() from bpf hook. bpf_setsockopt(...TCP_CONGESTION...) -> tcp_set_congestion_control() -> ns_capable(sock_net(sk)->user_ns, CAP_NET_ADMIN) -> ns_capable_common() -> current_cred() -> rcu_dereference_protected(current->cred, 1) Accessing 'current' in bpf context makes no sense, since packets are processed from softirq context. As Neal stated : The capability check in tcp_set_congestion_control() was written assuming a system call context, and then was reused from a BPF call site. The fix is to add a new parameter to tcp_set_congestion_control(), so that the ns_capable() call is only performed under the right context.
