From: Eric Dumazet <eduma...@google.com> tcp_init_nondata_skb() is fed with freshly allocated skbs. They already have a cleared csum field, no need to clear it again.
This is based on Neal review on commit 3b11775033dc ("tcp: do not mangle skb->cb[] in tcp_make_synack()"), noticing I did not clear skb->csum.
