tcp: Improve handling of fallback if socket pool is empty on new splice

When creating a new spliced connection, we need to get a socket in the
other ns from the originating one.  To avoid excessive ns switches we
usually get these from a pool refilled on a timer.  However, if the pool
runs out we need a fallback.  Currently that's done by passing -1 as the
socket to tcp_splice_connnect() and running it in the target ns.

This means that tcp_splice_connect() itself needs to have different cases
depending on whether it's given an existing socket or not, which is
a separate concern from what it's mostly doing.  We change it to require
a suitable open socket to be passed in, and ensuring in the caller that we
have one.

This requires adding the fallback paths to the caller, tcp_splice_new().
We use slightly different approaches for a socket in the init ns versus the
guest ns.

This also means that we no longer need to run tcp_splice_connect() itself
in the guest ns, which allows us to remove a bunch of boilerplate code.
