====================
tcp: add skb->sk to more control packets

Currently, TCP can set skb->sk for a variety of transmit packets.

However, packets sent on behalf of a TIME_WAIT sockets do not
have an attached socket.

Same issue for RST packets.

We want to change this, in order to increase eBPF program
capabilities.

This is slightly risky, because various layers could
be confused by TIME_WAIT sockets showing up in skb->sk.

v2: audited all sk_to_full_sk() users and addressed Martin feedback.
