tcp_splice: Improve logic deciding when to splice

This makes several tweaks to improve the logic which decides whether
we're able to use the splice method for a new connection.

 * Rather than only calling tcp_splice_conn_from_sock() in pasta mode, we
   check for pasta mode within it, better localising the checks.
 * Previously if we got a connection from a non-loopback address we'd
   always fall back to the "tap" path, even if the  connection was on a
   socket in the namespace.  If we did get a non-loopback address on a
   namespace socket, something has gone wrong and the "tap" path certainly
   won't be able to handle it.  Report the error and close, rather than
   passing it along to tap.
