The commit 41b14fb8724d ("net: Do not clear the sock TX queue in
sk_set_socket()") removes sk_tx_queue_clear() from sk_set_socket() and adds
it instead in sk_alloc() and sk_clone_lock() to fix an issue introduced in
the commit e022f0b4a03f ("net: Introduce sk_tx_queue_mapping"). However,
the original commit had already put sk_tx_queue_clear() in sk_prot_alloc():
the callee of sk_alloc() and sk_clone_lock(). Thus sk_tx_queue_clear() is
called twice in each path currently.
Are you sure ?

I do not clearly see the sk_tx_queue_clear() call from the cloning part.

Please elaborate.

In any case, this seems to be a candidate for net-next, this is not
fixing a bug,
this would be an optimization at most, and potentially adding a bug.

So if you resend this patch, you can mention the old commit in the changelog,
but do not add a dubious Fixes: tag

This patch removes the redundant calls of sk_tx_queue_clear() in sk_alloc()
and sk_clone_lock().
