Hm, right. I do not really see a reason why we need to maintain this twice
(introduced by 614f60fa9 ``packet_mmap: expose hw packet timestamps to network
packet capture utilities'').

This could also have been implemented actually with normal SOCK_ flags, i.e.
since we use sock_tx_timestamp() which uses SOCK_ flags. I will respin and try
to address that.
