tcp: use GFP_ATOMIC in tcp_send_active_reset()

tcp_send_active_reset() can be called from contexts where gfp_any()
(in tcp_disconnect()) or sk->sk_allocation (in __tcp_close() and
mptcp_do_fastclose()) evaluates to GFP_KERNEL, which includes
__GFP_FS and __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM.

Allocating with GFP_KERNEL while holding the socket lock (sk_lock) creates
a lockdep dependency:
  sk_lock -> fs_reclaim

This causes false-positive lockdep circular locking warnings with storage
subsystems (such as nvme-tcp) that acquire socket locks in block I/O paths
and invoke tcp_disconnect() or close sockets upon teardown:
  set->srcu -> sk_lock -> fs_reclaim -> elevator_lock -> set->srcu

Active resets are small RST packet headers that should never
enter direct reclaim or block while holding socket locks.

Use sk_gfp_mask(sk, GFP_ATOMIC | __GFP_NOWARN) inside tcp_send_active_reset()
and remove its priority argument. This preserves __GFP_MEMALLOC access
for SOCK_MEMALLOC sockets, suppresses allocation failure warnings,
and aligns with other control packet allocations (e.g. tcp_send_fin(),
__tcp_send_ack(), tcp_xmit_probe_skb()).
