tcp: fix a potential deadlock in tcp_get_info()

Taking socket spinlock in tcp_get_info() can deadlock, as
inet_diag_dump_icsk() holds the &hashinfo->ehash_locks[i],
while packet processing can use the reverse locking order.

We could avoid this locking for TCP_LISTEN states, but lockdep would
certainly get confused as all TCP sockets share same lockdep classes.

Lets use u64_sync infrastructure instead. As a bonus, 64bit
arches get optimized, as these are nop for them.
