Subject: [PATCH net 0/2] tcp: Merge timestamp info when coalescing skbs

This series is separated from the RFC series related to
tcp_sendmsg(MSG_EOR) and it is targeting for the net branch.
This patchset is focusing on fixing cases where TCP
timestamp could be lost after coalescing skbs.

A BPF prog is used to kprobe to sock_queue_err_skb()
and print out the value of serr->ee.ee_data.  The BPF
prog (run-able from bcc) is attached here:
