Since the sendto syscall doesn't have msg_control buffer,
the sock_tx_timestamp() in packet_snd() cannot work correctly because
the socks.fsflags is set to 0.
So, this patch sets the fsflags from sk.sk_tsflags if the msg_control
buffer doesn't exist.
Fixes: c14ac9451c34 ("sock: enable timestamping using control messages")

I'm not sure the network stack world. So, I submit this patch as RFC.
This patch looks like a quick hack, but it could resolve an our issue.
This issue happens on our platform (r8a7795-salvator-x).
The test command is:
# ptp4l -i eth0 -p /dev/ptp0 -m -q -f /etc/linuxptp/gPTP.cfg
The failure result:
ptp4l[26.815]: selected /dev/ptp0 as PTP clock
ptp4l[26.872]: port 1: INITIALIZING to LISTENING on INITIALIZE
ptp4l[26.872]: port 0: INITIALIZING to LISTENING on INITIALIZE
ptp4l[27.873]: timed out while polling for tx timestamp
ptp4l[27.873]: increasing tx_timestamp_timeout may correct this issue, but it
is likely caused by a driver bug
ptp4l[27.873]: port 1: send peer delay request failed
ptp4l[27.873]: port 1: LISTENING to FAULTY on FAULT_DETECTED (FT_UNSPECIFIED)
The result after the patch is applied (or the c14ac9451c34 is reverted):
ptp4l[64.639]: selected /dev/ptp0 as PTP clock
ptp4l[64.688]: port 1: INITIALIZING to LISTENING on INITIALIZE
ptp4l[64.688]: port 0: INITIALIZING to LISTENING on INITIALIZE
ptp4l[71.841]: port 1: LISTENING to MASTER on ANNOUNCE_RECEIPT_TIMEOUT_EXPIRES
ptp4l[71.841]: selected best master clock 2e090a.fffe.00a2df
ptp4l[71.841]: assuming the grand master role
