rds_tcp_exit_net() frees the per-netns RDS TCP listen socket via
rds_tcp_kill_sock() before unregistering the per-netns sysctl table.  Since
rds_tcp_skbuf_handler() derives the netns from
rtn->rds_tcp_listen_sock->sk, a concurrent sysctl write can race with
netns teardown and dereference the freed socket/sk.

KASAN reports the race as:

  BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in rds_tcp_skbuf_handler+0x2aa/0x2e0
  rds_tcp_skbuf_handler              net/rds/tcp.c:721
  proc_sys_call_handler              fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c
  vfs_write                          fs/read_write.c
  __x64_sys_pwrite64                 fs/read_write.c

Fix this by unregistering the RDS TCP sysctl table before calling
rds_tcp_kill_sock().  unregister_net_sysctl_table() prevents new sysctl
handlers from starting and waits for in-flight handlers to finish, so
the listen socket can then be released safely. The fix was tested
against the linked reproducer.
