net/tls: Implement getsockopt SOL_TLS TLS_RX
Implement the getsockopt SOL_TLS TLS_RX which is currently missing. The primary usecase is to use it in conjunction with TCP_REPAIR to checkpoint/restore the TLS record layer state. TLS connection state usually exists on the user space library. So basically we can easily extract it from there, but when the TLS connections are delegated to the kTLS, it is not the case. We need to have a way to extract the TLS state from the kernel for both of TX and RX side. The new TLS_RX getsockopt copies the crypto_info to user in the same way as TLS_TX does. We have described use cases in our research work in Netdev 0x14 Transport Workshop [1]. Also, there is an TLS implementation called tlse [2] which supports TLS connection migration. They have support of kTLS and their code shows that they are expecting the future support of this option.
