ipv4: tcp: set SOCK_USE_WRITE_QUEUE for ip_send_unicast_reply()
TCP uses per cpu 'sockets' to send some packets :
- RST packets ( tcp_v4_send_reset()) )
- ACK packets for SYN_RECV and TIMEWAIT sockets
By setting SOCK_USE_WRITE_QUEUE flag, we tell sock_wfree()
to not call sk_write_space() since these internal sockets
do not care.
This gives a small performance improvement, merely by allowing
cpu to properly predict the sock_wfree() conditional branch,
and avoiding one atomic operation.
