[PATCH RFC 1/5] net: Add distinct sk_psock field

The sk_psock facility populates the sk_user_data field with the
address of an extra bit of metadata. User space sockets never
populate the sk_user_data field, so this has worked out fine.

However, kernel consumers such as the RPC client and server do
populate the sk_user_data field. The sk_psock() function cannot tell
that the content of sk_user_data does not point to psock metadata,
so it will happily return a pointer to something else, cast to a
struct sk_psock.

Thus kernel consumers and psock currently cannot co-exist.

We could educate sk_psock() to return NULL if sk_user_data does
not point to a struct sk_psock. However, a more general solution
that enables full co-existence psock and other uses of sk_user_data
might be more interesting.

Move the struct sk_psock address to its own pointer field so that
the contents of the sk_user_data field is preserved.
