I wonder if this should not be in a separate patch ?

Bug was added in 971f10eca186cab238c49daa91f703c5a001b0b1 ("tcp: better
TCP_SKB_CB layout to reduce cache line misses")  in linux 3.18

While VRF was added later.

If you agree, I will prepare a patch series, with different Fixes tag
so that David can decide which path needs to be backported into each
stable version.

Thanks.
