Subject: [PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 008/180] tcp: tcp_make_synack() should clear skb->tstamp

3.16.7-ckt11 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>

commit b50edd7812852d989f2ef09dcfc729690f54a42d upstream.

I noticed tcpdump was giving funky timestamps for locally
generated SYNACK messages on loopback interface.

11:42:46.938990 IP 127.0.0.1.48245 > 127.0.0.2.23850: S
945476042:945476042(0) win 43690 <mss 65495,nop,nop,sackOK,nop,wscale 7>

20:28:58.502209 IP 127.0.0.2.23850 > 127.0.0.1.48245: S
3160535375:3160535375(0) ack 945476043 win 43690 <mss
65495,nop,nop,sackOK,nop,wscale 7>

This is because we need to clear skb->tstamp before
entering lower stack, otherwise net_timestamp_check()
does not set skb->tstamp.
