Subject: [PATCH 4.4 37/73] tcp: refresh skb timestamp at retransmit time

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

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

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

[ Upstream commit 10a81980fc47e64ffac26a073139813d3f697b64 ]

In the very unlikely case __tcp_retransmit_skb() can not use the cloning
done in tcp_transmit_skb(), we need to refresh skb_mstamp before doing
the copy and transmit, otherwise TCP TS val will be an exact copy of
original transmit.

Fixes: 7faee5c0d514 ("tcp: remove TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->when")
