The patch looks good. I think it's correct, since only sockets which expect to
get Tx timestamps should be waiting and checking for them. Other sockets won't
be checking, but also won't get betting timestamps.
I'm not sure if there is some improvement we could do in the future for if a Tx
timestamp is sent for a packet that didn't request it.
Maybe others know more about that flow?
Thanks,
Jake
