Alexey Kodanev 65b7ff47a7 net: tcp6: fix double call of tcp_v6_fill_cb()
[ Upstream commit 4ad19de877 ]

tcp_v6_fill_cb() will be called twice if socket's state changes from
TCP_TIME_WAIT to TCP_LISTEN. That can result in control buffer data
corruption because in the second tcp_v6_fill_cb() call it's not copying
IP6CB(skb) anymore, but 'seq', 'end_seq', etc., so we can get weird and
unpredictable results. Performance loss of up to 1200% has been observed
in LTP/vxlan03 test.

This can be fixed by copying inet6_skb_parm to the beginning of 'cb'
only if xfrm6_policy_check() and tcp_v6_fill_cb() are going to be
called again.

Fixes: 2dc49d1680 ("tcp6: don't move IP6CB before xfrm6_policy_check()")
