bpo-33674: asyncio: Fix SSLProtocol race (GH-7175) (#7187)

Fix a race condition in SSLProtocol.connection_made() of
asyncio.sslproto: start immediately the handshake instead of using
call_soon(). Previously, data_received() could be called before the
handshake started, causing the handshake to hang or fail.
