Merge branch 'tcp_conn_request_unification'

Octavian Purdila says:

====================
tcp: remove code duplication in tcp_v[46]_conn_request

This patch series unifies the TCPv4 and TCPv6 connection request flow
in a single new function (tcp_conn_request).

The first 3 patches are small cleanups and fixes found during the code
merge process.

The next patches add new methods in tcp_request_sock_ops to abstract
the IPv4/IPv6 operations and keep the TCP connection request flow
common.

To identify potential performance issues this patch has been tested
by measuring the connection per second rate with nginx and a httperf
like client (to allow for concurrent connection requests - 256 CC were
used during testing) using the loopback interface. A dual-core i5 Ivy
Bridge processor was used and each process was bounded to a different
core to make results consistent.

Results for IPv4, unit is connections per second, higher is better, 20
measurements have been collected:

		before		after
min		27917		27962
max		28262		28366
avg		28094.1		28212.75
stdev		87.35		97.26

Results for IPv6, unit is connections per second, higher is better, 20
measurements have been collected:

		before		after
min		24813		24877
max		25029		25119
avg		24935.5		25017
stdev		64.13		62.93

Changes since v1:

 * add benchmarking datapoints

 * fix a few issues in the last patch (IPv6 related)
