[PATCH 2/2] tcp: add ability to set a timestamp offset (v2)

[Andrey Vagin]

If a TCP socket will get live-migrated from one box to another the
timestamps (which are typically ON) will get screwed up -- the new
kernel will generate TS values that has nothing to do with what they
were on dump. The solution is to yet again fix the kernel and put a
"timestamp offset" on a socket.

This patch adds one more tcp socket option TCP_TIMESTAMP, which is used
for getting and setting a current value of tcp_timestamp.
