[PATCH net-next] tcp: add tcp_tx_skb_cache_key checking in sk_stream_alloc_skb()

[Yunsheng Lin]

Since tcp_tx_skb_cache is disabled by default in:
commit 0b7d7f6b2208 ("tcp: add tcp_tx_skb_cache sysctl")

Add tcp_tx_skb_cache_key checking in sk_stream_alloc_skb() to
avoid possible branch-misses.

Also, the sk->sk_tx_skb_cache may be both changed by allocation
and freeing side, I assume there may be some implicit protection
here too, such as the NAPI protection for rx?
