Just trivia.

Maybe something like this is a bit more legible?
{
	if (a->family != b->family)
		return false;

	if (a->family == AF_INET)
		return a->addr.a4 == b->addr.a4;

	return ipv6_addr_equal((const struct in6_addr *)&a->addr.a6,
			       (const struct in6_addr *)&b->addr.a6);
}

Using multiple ?: in a single return can be a bit hard to read.

Maybe:

	if (tm)
		return tm;
	if (depth > TCP_METRICS_RECLAIM_DEPTH)
		return TCP_METRICS_RECLAIM_PTR;

	return NULL;

or move the "return tm" into the for loop and avoid
the break and test.

Is this a sparse error?  __be32 to unsigned int?
Maybe it needs a __force?

Same sparse error?

Maybe this mostly duplicated bit could be consolidated
into some hash = calc_tcp_hash(&addr) function?
