tcp: use TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->tcp_flags in input path



Input path of TCP do not currently uses TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->tcp_flags,
which is only used in output path.

tcp_recvmsg(), looks at tcp_hdr(skb)->syn for every skb found in receive queue,
and its unfortunate because this bit is located in a cache line right before
the payload.

We can simplify TCP by copying tcp flags into TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->tcp_flags.

This patch does so, and avoids the cache line miss in tcp_recvmsg()

Following patches will
- allow a segment with FIN being coalesced in tcp_try_coalesce()
- simplify tcp_collapse() by not copying the headers.
