    tcp: move duplicate code from tcp_v4_init_sock()/tcp_v6_init_sock() · 900f65d3

    This commit moves the (substantial) common code shared between
    tcp_v4_init_sock() and tcp_v6_init_sock() to a new address-family
    independent function, tcp_init_sock().
    
    Centralizing this functionality should help avoid drift issues,
    e.g. where the IPv4 side is updated without a corresponding update to
    IPv6. There was already some drift: IPv4 initialized snd_cwnd to
    TCP_INIT_CWND, while the IPv6 side was still initializing snd_cwnd to
    2 (in this case it should not matter, since snd_cwnd is also
    initialized in tcp_init_metrics(), but the general risks and
    maintenance overhead remain).
    
    When diffing the old and new code, note that new tcp_init_sock()
    function uses the order of steps from the tcp_v4_init_sock()
    implementation (the order is slightly different in
    tcp_v6_init_sock()).
