tcp: uniform the set up of sockets after successful connection

Currently in the TCP code, the initialization sequence for cached
metrics, congestion control, BPF, etc, after successful connection
is very inconsistent. This introduces inconsistent bevhavior and is
prone to bugs. The current call sequence is as follows:

(1) for active case (tcp_finish_connect() case):
        tcp_mtup_init(sk);
        icsk->icsk_af_ops->rebuild_header(sk);
        tcp_init_metrics(sk);
        tcp_call_bpf(sk, BPF_SOCK_OPS_ACTIVE_ESTABLISHED_CB);
        tcp_init_congestion_control(sk);
        tcp_init_buffer_space(sk);

(2) for passive case (tcp_rcv_state_process() TCP_SYN_RECV case):
        icsk->icsk_af_ops->rebuild_header(sk);
        tcp_call_bpf(sk, BPF_SOCK_OPS_PASSIVE_ESTABLISHED_CB);
        tcp_init_congestion_control(sk);
        tcp_mtup_init(sk);
        tcp_init_buffer_space(sk);
        tcp_init_metrics(sk);

(3) for TFO passive case (tcp_fastopen_create_child()):
        inet_csk(child)->icsk_af_ops->rebuild_header(child);
        tcp_init_congestion_control(child);
        tcp_mtup_init(child);
        tcp_init_metrics(child);
        tcp_call_bpf(child, BPF_SOCK_OPS_PASSIVE_ESTABLISHED_CB);
        tcp_init_buffer_space(child);

This commit uniforms the above functions to have the following sequence:
        tcp_mtup_init(sk);
        icsk->icsk_af_ops->rebuild_header(sk);
        tcp_init_metrics(sk);
        tcp_call_bpf(sk, BPF_SOCK_OPS_ACTIVE/PASSIVE_ESTABLISHED_CB);
        tcp_init_congestion_control(sk);
        tcp_init_buffer_space(sk);
This sequence is the same as the (1) active case. We pick this sequence
because this order correctly allows BPF to override the settings
including congestion control module and initial cwnd, etc from
the route, and then allows the CC module to see those settings.
