It actually can be NULL, see tcp_make_synack().
At this moment code assumes that *either* (tp == NULL) or (tcprsk == NULL).

Patch 15 ("net/tcp: Wire TCP-AO to request sockets") adds
+		if (tcprsk) {
+			u8 aolen = tcprsk->maclen + sizeof(struct tcp_ao_hdr);
+
+			maclen = tcprsk->maclen;
+			*ptr++ = htonl((TCPOPT_AO << 24) | (aolen << 16) |
+				       (tcprsk->ao_keyid << 8) |
+				       (tcprsk->ao_rcv_next));
+		}

Assuming that tp != NULL OR tcprsk != NULL, maclen is always initialized
_after both patches_.
For version 2, I'll make it (break patches) in more bisect-able way for
static analyzers and do WARN_ON(tp == NULL && tcprsk == NULL) with break
off TCP-AO signing to make sure the assumption will be valid with
the code changing later on.

The function has checks inside.
