This patch exports the tos values from the inet_sock struct
for tcp and udp into the /proc/net/tcp or /proc/net/udp respectively.
This will not pickup per packet tos changes but it will address most
of the cases. This is mainly useful as it would decrease reliance on
tcpdump and also people without root access will be able to read
the values.

You cannot change the layout of these files, they are parsed by userland
problems and therefore have a fixed API.

Netlink based socket dumping provides a proper, backwards compatible,
way to extend what is reported, so please consider adding your changes
there.
