Re: [PATCH net-next] tcp: fix TCP_REPAIR xmit queue setup

Andrey reported the following warning triggered while running CRIU tests:

tcp_clean_rtx_queue()
...
	last_ackt = tcp_skb_timestamp_us(skb);
	WARN_ON_ONCE(last_ackt == 0);

This is caused by 5f6188a8003d ("tcp: do not change tcp_wstamp_ns
in tcp_mstamp_refresh"), as we end up having skbs in retransmit queue
with a zero skb->skb_mstamp_ns field.

We could fix this bug in different ways, like making sure
tp->tcp_wstamp_ns is not zero at socket creation, but as Neal pointed
out, we also do not want that pacing status of a repaired socket
could push tp->tcp_wstamp_ns far ahead in the future.

So we prefer changing tcp_write_xmit() to not call tcp_update_skb_after_send()
and instead do what is requested by TCP_REPAIR logic.
