Subject: tcp: __tcp_hdrlen() helper

From: Craig Gallek <[email protected]>

commit d9b3fca27385eafe61c3ca6feab6cb1e7dc77482 upstream.

tcp_hdrlen is wasteful if you already have a pointer to struct tcphdr. This splits the size calculation into a helper function that can be used if a struct tcphdr is already available.
