  From: Ralf Lici <ralf@mandelbit.com>

Incoming P_CONTROL_SOFT_RESET_V1 can arrive while the active key is not
yet fully valid for renegotiation. This includes the window where we are
still waiting for auth_deferred_expire (derived from handshake/reneg
timing), as well as cases where deferred or mid-session auth later
leaves the key non-authenticated even though state is S_GENERATED_KEYS.

This patch keeps read_control_auth as the first gate, then rejects the
incoming renegotiation requests unless the primary key is KS_AUTH_TRUE
and auth_deferred_expire has passed.
