Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: restore correct ECN handling on TCP xmit

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/872179

Since commit e9df2e8fd8fbc9 (Use appropriate sock tclass setting for
routing lookup) we lost ability to properly add ECN codemarks to ipv6
TCP frames.

It seems like TCP_ECN_send() calls INET_ECN_xmit(), which only sets the
ECN bit in the IPv4 ToS field (inet_sk(sk)->tos), but after the patch,
what's checked is inet6_sk(sk)->tclass, which is a completely different
field.

Close bug https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34322

[Eric Dumazet] : added the INET_ECN_dontxmit() fix and replace macros
by inline functions for clarity.
