tcp: do not change tcp_wstamp_ns in tcp_mstamp_refresh
In EDT design, I made the mistake of using tcp_wstamp_ns
to store the last tcp_clock_ns() sample and to store the
pacing virtual timer.
This causes major regressions at high speed flows.
Introduce tcp_clock_cache to store last tcp_clock_ns().
This is needed because some arches have slow high-resolution
kernel time service.
tcp_wstamp_ns is only updated when a packet is sent.
Note that we can remove tcp_mstamp in the future since
tcp_mstamp is essentially tcp_clock_cache/1000, so the
apparent socket size increase is temporary.
Fixes: 9799ccb0e984 ("tcp: add tcp_wstamp_ns socket field")
