Move definition of sk_validate_xmit_skb() from net/core/sock.c to
net/core/dev.c.

This change is in preparation of the next patch, where
sk_validate_xmit_skb() will need to cast sk to a tcp_timewait_sock *,
and access member fields. Including linux/tcp.h from linux/sock.h
creates a circular dependency, and dev.c is the only current call site
of this function.
