Subject: [PATCH net-next 3/8] tcp: better SYNACK sent timestamp

Detecting spurious SYNACK timeout using timestamp option requires
recording the exact SYNACK skb timestamp. Previously the SYNACK
sent timestamp was stamped slightly earlier before the skb
was transmitted. This patch uses the SYNACK skb transmission
timestamp directly.
