Subject: tcp: refresh tp timestamp before tcp_mtu_probe()

From: Eric Dumazet <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit ee1836aec4f5a977c1699a311db4d9027ef21ac8 ]

In the unlikely event tcp_mtu_probe() is sending a packet, we want tp->tcp_mstamp being as accurate as possible.

This means we need to call tcp_mstamp_refresh() a bit earlier in tcp_write_xmit().
