net: tun_chr_open(): set sk_uid from current_fsuid()

commit 9bc3047374d5bec163e83e743709e23753376f0c upstream.

Commit a096ccca6e50 initializes the "sk_uid" field in the protocol socket
(struct sock) from the "/dev/net/tun" device node's owner UID. Per
original commit 86741ec25462 ("net: core: Add a UID field to struct
sock.", 2016-11-04), that's wrong: the idea is to cache the UID of the
userspace process that creates the socket. Commit 86741ec25462 mentions
socket() and accept(); with "tun", the action that creates the socket is
open("/dev/net/tun").

Therefore the device node's owner UID is irrelevant. In most cases,
"/dev/net/tun" will be owned by root, so in practice, commit a096ccca6e50
has no observable effect:

- before, "sk_uid" would be zero, due to undefined behavior
  (CVE-2023-1076),

- after, "sk_uid" would be zero, due to "/dev/net/tun" being owned by root.

What matters is the (fs)UID of the process performing the open(), so cache
that in "sk_uid".
