Subject: [PATCH 3.18 44/52] tcp: __tcp_hdrlen() helper

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

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

From: Craig Gallek <kraig@...gle.com>

commit d9b3fca27385eafe61c3ca6feab6cb1e7dc77482 upstream.

tcp_hdrlen is wasteful if you already have a pointer to struct tcphdr.
This splits the size calculation into a helper function that can be
used if a struct tcphdr is already available.
