Maybe, but it is a bit complex, since skbs in receive queues (regular or out of order)
are accounted differently (they have skb->destructor set)

Also they had the TCP header pulled already, while the backlog coalescing also has
to make sure TCP options match.

Not sure if we want to add extra parameters and conditional checks...
