This patch fixes an issue that a syscall (e.g. sendto syscall) cannot work correctly. Since the sendto syscall doesn't have msg_control buffer, the sock_tx_timestamp() in packet_snd() cannot work correctly because the socks.tsflags is set to 0. So, this patch sets the socks.tsflags to sk->sk_tsflags as default.

Changes from v1: - Set socks.tsflags to sk->sk_tsflags as default instead of a condition. - Fix other socks.tsflags values in the af_packet.c. - Revise the commit log.
