When testing a recent kernel (5.6 in our case), the skb->mark of the
IPv4 TCP RST pkt does not carry the mark from sk->sk_mark. It is
discovered by the bpf@tc that depends on skb->mark to work properly.
The same bpf prog has been working in the earlier kernel version.
After reverting commit c6af0c227a22 ("ip: support SO_MARK cmsg"),
the skb->mark is set and seen by bpf@tc properly.
We have noticed that in IPv4 TCP RST but it should also
happen to the ACK based on tcp_v4_send_ack() is also depending
on ip_send_unicast_reply().
This patch tries to fix it by initializing the ipc.sockc.mark to
fl4.flowi4_mark.
