tcp: change tcp_skb_pcount() location

Browse Source 
Our goal is to access no more than one cache line access per skb in
a write or receive queue when doing the various walks.

After recent TCP_SKB_CB() reorganizations, it is almost done.

Last part is tcp_skb_pcount() which currently uses
skb_shinfo(skb)->gso_segs, which is a terrible choice, because it needs
3 cache lines in current kernel (skb->head, skb->end, and
shinfo->gso_segs are all in 3 different cache lines, far from skb->cb)

This very simple patch reuses space currently taken by tcp_tw_isn
only in input path, as tcp_skb_pcount is only needed for skb stored in
write queue.

This considerably speeds up tcp_ack(), granted we avoid shinfo->tx_flags
to get SKBTX_ACK_TSTAMP, which seems possible.

This also speeds up all sack processing in general.

This speeds up tcp_sendmsg() because it no longer has to access/dirty
shinfo.
