It does not clear the rx tstamp in skb->tstamp.

It only clears the EDT in skb->tstamp when the skb
is transmitted out of a local tcp_sock and then loop back from egress
to ingress through virtual interface like veth.

skb_clear_delivery_time() will put ktime_get_real() back to skb->tstamp
so that the receiving tcp_sock can use it.
