Subject: ipv6: make sure to initialize sockc.tsflags before first use

From: Alexander Potapenko <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit d515684d78148884d5fc425ba904c50f03844020 ]

In the case udp_sk(sk)->pending is AF_INET6, udpv6_sendmsg() would jump to do_append_data, skipping the initialization of sockc.tsflags. Fix the problem by moving sockc.tsflags initialization earlier.

The bug was detected with KMSAN.
