I forgot that in upstream kernels, swtstamp can also be removed.

It is used in our kernels to store the time at which the skb was moved
into socket receive queue (after a possible stay in out of order queue)

Will send a V2, removing this field from net-next, before we add it
again later if we upstream our instrumentation code.
