Subject: [PATCH net-next] sock: avoid dirtying sk_stamp, if possible

sock_recv_ts_and_drops() unconditionally set sk->sk_stamp for
every packet, even if the SOCK_TIMESTAMP flag is not set in the
related socket.
If selinux is enabled, this cause a cache miss for every packet
since sk->sk_stamp and sk->sk_security share the same cacheline.
With this change sk_stamp is set only if the SOCK_TIMESTAMP
flag is set, and is cleared for the first packet, so that the user
perceived behavior is unchanged.

This gives up to 5% speed-up under udp-flood with small packets.
