Subject: [PATCH net-next-2.6] tcp: diag: Dont report negative values for rx
 queue

Both netlink and /proc/net/tcp interfaces can report transient
negative values for rx queue.

ss ->
State   Recv-Q Send-Q  Local Address:Port  Peer Address:Port
ESTAB   -6     6       127.0.0.1:45956     127.0.0.1:3333 

netstat ->
tcp   4294967290      6 127.0.0.1:37784  127.0.0.1:3333 ESTABLISHED

This is because we dont lock socket while computing 
tp->rcv_nxt - tp->copied_seq,
and another CPU can update copied_seq before rcv_next in RX path.
