tcp_ipv6: fix use of uninitialized memory
inet6_rsk() is called on a struct request_sock * before we
have checked whether the socket is an ipv6 socket or a ipv6-
mapped ipv4 socket. The access that triggers this is the
inet_rsk(rsk)->inet6_rsk_offset dereference in inet6_rsk().
This is arguably not a critical error as the inet6_rsk_offset
is only used to compute a pointer which is never really used
(in the code path in question) anyway. But it might be a
latent error, so let's fix it.
Spotted by kmemcheck.
