Subject: [PATCH][net-next] tcp: remove the duplicate prefixes in the logging message

From: Li RongQing <roy.qing.li@...il.com>

The current message is:
	TCP: TCP: Possible SYN flooding on port 80. Sending cookies. ...

The cause is that pr_info will implicitly print the pr_fmt string, which is standard
prefix, and explicitly print the "proto" which is "TCP:" too

it is unsuitable to not print proto, since proto maybe TCPv6, so use printk directly.
