Subject: [PATCH net-next 2/2] tcp: remove a redundant check for SKBTX_ACK_TSTAMP

From: Soheil Hassas Yeganeh <soheil@...gle.com>

txstamp_ack in tcp_skb_cb is set iff the SKBTX_ACK_TSTAMP
flag is set for an skb. Thus, it is not required to check
shinfo->tx_flags if the txstamp_ack bit is checked.

Remove the check on shinfo->tx_flags & SKBTX_ACK_TSTAMP, since
it has already been checked using the txstamp_ack bit.
