The tx rekey operation creates a new psp_assoc with the same rx state,
but with new tx state. The new association is spliced into the socket
with RCU to be used immediately in the tx path.

Drivers that use on-device tx key storage need additional logic to delay
key deletion until after any in-flight users of the key have been
drained, so return -EOPNOTSUPP for now.

v3:
- move the replaced assoc to psd->stale_assocs, so a rotation
  racing with its free doesn't count the socket twice in stale-events
- document that the previous rx SPI also stops being accepted once
  its device key is rotated out
- drop the claim that the peer accepts both the old and new SPI
  after a tx rekey
- document tx rekey in the tx-assoc op doc in psp.yaml

v2:
- place new assoc on pas->assocs list instead of psd->active assocs
  list
- reject tx rekey on SADB devices until deferred tx key deletion
  lands
