Thanks, it indeed allows for getting rid of quite a bit of open coded
code by converting to sk_msg API. As it was mentioned in the other mail,
we'd also be able to reuse this framework in future for other potential
additions or ULPs aside from that; consolidating sockmap and tls to work
on the same data structure also helped a lot in testing.

I left this bit aside for now by leaving the tls_setup_from_iter() as is,
basically as current zerocopy_from_iter() in current tls code minus the
charge since not used here. Given this is only triggered in RX path (which
is not sk_msg based right now) I didn't want to wrap it into a fake/temp
sk_msg object just for calling into sk_msg_zerocopy_from_iter(), felt a bit
unclean and given the complexity we already have probably more appropriate
to pursue in a second step.
Thanks,
Daniel
