<!-- Add a description of the new feature/bug fix. Reference any relevant bugs. -->

For TLS 1.2 + Chacha20 + KTLS, IV was effectively sequence number + a bit of stack garbage.
The test forks client and server, so the likelihood of said garbage matching was high, masking the issue.

* ktls: fix ChaCha20-Poly1305 IV passing for TLS 1.2 - the fix
* ktls: simplify ChaCha20‑Poly1305 IV passing for TLS 1.2 - should be a no-op
