do_recvmmsg() and getsockopt(SO_ERROR) call sock_error() without the
socket lock. sock_error() clears sk_err with xchg(), which races with
unmarked loads of the same field.

KCSAN reported the unmarked peek in tcp_recv_should_stop(). Annotate
that helper and the other send-side peeks with READ_ONCE().

On the no-data recv and splice paths, if (sk_err) followed by
sock_error() and an unconditional break can return 0 after another
thread consumes the error. Call sock_error() once and only stop when
it returns a non-zero error.

tcp_bpf_sendmsg() read sk_err twice; fold those unmarked loads into
one READ_ONCE() and use that value as the returned errno. The field
is still not consumed.

MPTCP is handled in the next patch.
