Yuchung Cheng 7f12422c48 tcp: always timestamp on every skb transmission
Previously TCP skbs are not always timestamped if the transmission
failed due to memory or other local issues. This makes deciding
when to abort a socket tricky and complicated because the first
unacknowledged skb's timestamp may be 0 on TCP timeout.

The straight-forward fix is to always timestamp skb on every
transmission attempt. Also every skb retransmission needs to be
flagged properly to avoid RTT under-estimation. This can happen
upon receiving an ACK for the original packet and the a previous
(spurious) retransmission has failed.

It's worth noting that this reverts to the old time-stamping
style before commit 8c72c65b42 ("tcp: update skb->skb_mstamp more
carefully") which addresses a problem in computing the elapsed time
of a stalled window-probing socket. The problem will be addressed
differently in the next patches with a simpler approach.
