Subject: [PATCH net-next] net-timestamp: cumulative tcp timestamping fixes

A set of small fixes pointed out just after the merge:
- make tcp_tx_timestamp static
- make tcp_gso_tstamp static
- use before() to compare TCP seqno, instead of cast to u64
- add tstamp to tx_flags in GSO, instead of overwrite tx_flags
- record skb_shinfo(skb)->tskey for all timestamps, also HW.
- optimization in tcp_tx_timestamp:
  call sock_tx_timestamp only if a tstamp option is set.

Signed-off-by: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@...gle.com>
Fixes: 4ed2d765dfac ("net-timestamp: TCP timestamping")

---

The sock_tx_timestamp optimization can also apply to others callers.
Basically, the following and related changes to net/socket.c

-void sock_tx_timestamp(struct sock *sk, __u8 *tx_flags);
+void sock_tx_timestamp(struct sock *sk, __u8 *tx_flags) {
+       if (sk->sk_tsflags)
+               __sock_tx_timestamp(sk, tx_flags);
+}
+
+void __sock_tx_timestamp(struct sock *sk, __u8 *tx_flags);

But that is less critical and this patch combines enough items
already. I plan to send it as a separate patch once net-next
reopens, unless you prefer me to squash it into this one.
