Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 net-next 2/3] tcp: add in_flight to tcp_skb_cb

Based on comments by Neal Cardwell to tcp_nv patch:

  AFAICT this patch would not require an increase in the size of sk_buff
  cb[] if it were to take advantage of the fact that the tcp_skb_cb
  header.h4 and header.h6 fields are only used in the packet reception
  code path, and this in_flight field is only used on the transmit
  side. So the in_flight field could be placed in a struct that is
  itself placed in a union with the "header" union.

  That way the sender code can remember the in_flight value
  without requiring any extra space. And in the future other
  sender-side info could be stored in the "tx" struct, if needed.
