Subject: tcp: fix mark propagation with fwmark_reflect enabled

From: Pau Espin Pedrol <[email protected]>

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.
