Subject: tcp: fix mark propagation with fwmark_reflect enabled
From: Pau Espin Pedrol <pespin.shar@xxxxxxxxx>
commit bf99b4ded5f8a4767dbb9d180626f06c51f9881f upstream.
Otherwise, RST packets generated by the TCP stack for non-existing
sockets always have mark 0.
The mark from the original packet is assigned to the netns_ipv4/6
socket used to send the response so that it can get copied into the
response skb when the socket sends it.
Fixes: e110861f8609 ("net: add a sysctl to reflect the fwmark on replies")
