skb->rbnode shares space with skb->next, skb->prev and skb->tstamp

Current uses (TCP receive ofo queue and netem) need to save/restore
tstamp, while skb->dev is either NULL (TCP) or a constant for a given
queue (netem).

Since we plan using an RB tree for TCP retransmit queue to speedup SACK
processing with large BDP, this patch exchanges skb->dev and
skb->tstamp.

This saves some overhead in both TCP and netem.

v2: removes the swtstamp field from struct tcp_skb_cb
