Kuniyuki Iwashima 481c226528 bpf: tcp: Fix type confusion in bpf_tcp_sock().
bpf_tcp_sock() only checks if sk->sk_protocol is IPPROTO_TCP,
but RAW socket can bypass it:

  socket(AF_INET, SOCK_RAW, IPPROTO_TCP)

Calling bpf_setsockopt() in SOCKOPT prog triggers out-of-bounds
access to another slab object. [0]

Let's use sk_is_tcp().
