ovpn: set sk_user_data before overriding callbacks

During initialization, we override socket callbacks and set sk_user_data
to an ovpn_socket instance. Currently, these two operations are
decoupled: callbacks are overridden before sk_user_data is set. While
existing callbacks perform safety checks for NULL or non-ovpn
sk_user_data, this condition causes a "half-formed" state where valid
packets arriving during attachment trigger error logs (e.g., "invoked on
non ovpn socket").

Set sk_user_data before overriding the callbacks so that it can be
accessed safely from them. Since we already check that the socket has no
sk_user_data before setting it, this remains safe even if an interrupt
accesses the socket after sk_user_data is set but before the callbacks
are overridden.

This also requires initializing all protocol-specific fields (such as
tcp_tx_work and peer links) before calling ovpn_socket_attach, ensuring
the ovpn_socket is fully formed before it becomes visible to any
callback.
