Subject: [PATCH] net/core: Make urgent data inline by default

Make urgent data inline by default. As explained in RFC 6093, urgent
data should never be handled out-of-band.

"The TCP urgent mechanism is NOT a mechanism for sending "out-of-band"
  data: the so-called "urgent data" should be delivered "in-line" to
  the TCP user."
