From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>

RST packets and ACK packets sent on behalf of TIME_WAIT sockets
do not have a socket owner currently.

For sch_fq users, this means fq classifier has to fallback to packet
dissection and allocate one flow structure, while we generally send
a single packet. This is also an attack vector.

Note that ip6_xmit() correctly uses skb_set_owner_w() if skb needs
to be reallocated when head room is not big enough.

Simply use sock_wmalloc() instead of alloc_skb().

Note: This might increase false sharing on the ctl_sk, which is
shared by all cpus for a given network namespace. We might switch later
to a percpu socket as we do for IPv4.

Also use MAX_TCP_HEADER, as it makes the code shorter.
