ovpn_tcp_init initializes the TCP proto and proto_ops templates used
when a TCP socket is attached to an ovpn peer, but ovpn_init registers
the generic netlink family before initializing those templates. Once the
family is visible, userspace can create an ovpn device and configure a
TCP socket while the TCP templates are still zero-initialized.

Initialize the TCP templates before publishing the netlink interfaces,
so externally reachable setup paths can only observe initialized TCP
state.
