    sock: enable timestamping using control messages · c14ac945

    Currently, SOL_TIMESTAMPING can only be enabled using setsockopt.
    This is very costly when users want to sample writes to gather
    tx timestamps.
    
    Add support for enabling SO_TIMESTAMPING via control messages by
    using tsflags added in `struct sockcm_cookie` (added in the previous
    patches in this series) to set the tx_flags of the last skb created in
    a sendmsg. With this patch, the timestamp recording bits in tx_flags
    of the skbuff is overridden if SO_TIMESTAMPING is passed in a cmsg.
    
    Please note that this is only effective for overriding the recording
    timestamps flags. Users should enable timestamp reporting (e.g.,
    SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SOFTWARE | SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_ID) using
    socket options and then should ask for SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_*
    using control messages per sendmsg to sample timestamps for each
    write.
