Delegate fan-out to a background worker in order to allow
kernel_getpeername() to acquire a lock on the socket.
This has become necessary since the introduction of
commit "9dfc685e0262d ("inet: remove races in inet{6}_getname()")
The socket is already locked in the context that
"kernel_getpeername" used to get called by either
rds_tcp_recv_path" or "tcp_v{4,6}_rcv",
and therefore causing a deadlock.
Luckily, the fan-out need not happen in-context nor fast,
so we can easily just do the same in a background worker.
Also, while we're doing this, we get rid of the unused
struct members "t_conn_w", "t_send_w", "t_down_w" & "t_recv_w".
The fan-out work and the shutdown worker (cp_down_w) are both
queued on the same ordered workqueue (cp0->cp_wq), so they
cannot execute concurrently. We only need cancel_work_sync()
in rds_tcp_conn_free() and rds_tcp_conn_path_connect() because
those run from outside the ordered workqueue.
