Subject: [PATCH v2 net-next 1/2] tcp: remove an unnecessary check in tcp_tx_timestamp

From: Soheil Hassas Yeganeh <soheil@...gle.com>

Remove the redundant check for sk->sk_tsflags in tcp_tx_timestamp.

tcp_tx_timestamp() receives the tsflags as a parameter. As a
result the "sk->sk_tsflags || tsflags" is redundant, since
tsflags already includes sk->sk_tsflags plus overrides from
control messages.
