Subject: [PATCH 4.13 29/44] tcp: refresh tp timestamp before tcp_mtu_probe()

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

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

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


[ Upstream commit ee1836aec4f5a977c1699a311db4d9027ef21ac8 ]

In the unlikely event tcp_mtu_probe() is sending a packet, we
want tp->tcp_mstamp being as accurate as possible.

This means we need to call tcp_mstamp_refresh() a bit earlier in
tcp_write_xmit().

Fixes: 385e20706fac ("tcp: use tp->tcp_mstamp in output path")
