tcp: tcp_make_synack() should clear skb->tstamp

Browse Source 
I noticed tcpdump was giving funky timestamps for locally
generated SYNACK messages on loopback interface.

11:42:46.938990 IP 127.0.0.1.48245 > 127.0.0.2.23850: S
945476042:945476042(0) win 43690 <mss 65495,nop,nop,sackOK,nop,wscale 7>

20:28:58.502209 IP 127.0.0.2.23850 > 127.0.0.1.48245: S

This is because we need to clear skb->tstamp before
entering lower stack, otherwise net_timestamp_check()
does not set skb->tstamp.
