You're right. __sock_tx_timestamp used to take sk->sk_tsflags as
input, now it relies solely on this parameter tsflags. All callsites
must either pass sk->sk_tsflags directly or initialize sockc.tsflags
to this value.

Better to follow the example of other protocols. In all three packet
variants, make the following initialization change:
- sockc.tsflags = 0;
+ sockc.tsflags = sk->sk_tsflags;
