    net: Do not clear the sock TX queue in sk_set_socket()
    
    Clearing the sock TX queue in sk_set_socket() might cause unexpected
    out-of-order transmit when called from sock_orphan(), as outstanding
    packets can pick a different TX queue and bypass the ones already queued.
    
    This is undesired in general. More specifically, it breaks the in-order
    scheduling property guarantee for device-offloaded TLS sockets.
    
    Remove the call to sk_tx_queue_clear() in sk_set_socket(), and add it
    explicitly only where needed.
