tcp: fix tcp_ack() performance problem

Browse Source 
We worked hard to improve tcp_ack() performance, by not accessing
skb_shinfo() in fast path (cd7d8498c9 tcp: change tcp_skb_pcount()
location)

We still have one spurious access because of ACK timestamping,
added in commit e1c8a607b2 ("net-timestamp: ACK timestamp for
bytestreams")

By checking if sk_tsflags has SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_ACK set,
we can avoid two cache line misses for the common case.

While we are at it, add two prefetchw() :

One in tcp_ack() to bring skb at the head of write queue.

One in tcp_clean_rtx_queue() loop to bring following skb,
as we will delete skb from the write queue and dirty skb->next->prev.

Add a couple of [un]likely() clauses.

After this patch, tcp_ack() is no longer the most consuming
function in tcp stack.
