tcp: shrink tcp6_timewait_sock by one cache line



While working on tcp listener refactoring, I found that it
would really make things easier if sock_common could include
the IPv6 addresses needed in the lookups, instead of doing
very complex games to get their values (depending on sock
being SYN_RECV, ESTABLISHED, TIME_WAIT)

For this to happen, I need to be sure that tcp6_timewait_sock
and tcp_timewait_sock consume same number of cache lines.

This is possible if we only use 32bits for tw_ttd, as we remove
one 32bit hole in inet_timewait_sock

inet_tw_time_stamp() is defined and used, even if its current
implementation looks like tcp_time_stamp : We might need finer
resolution for tcp_time_stamp in the future.

Before patch : sizeof(struct tcp6_timewait_sock) = 0xc8

After patch : sizeof(struct tcp6_timewait_sock) = 0xc0
