Re: [PATCH v2 net-next 1/3] tcp: inline __tcp_v4_send_check()

Inline __tcp_v4_send_check(), like __tcp_v6_send_check().

Move tcp_v4_send_check() to tcp_output.c close to
its fast path caller (__tcp_transmit_skb()).

Note __tcp_v4_send_check() is still out-of-line for tcp4_gso_segment()
because it is called in an unlikely() section.
