net: ip_queue_rcv_skb() helper

When queueing a skb to socket, we can immediately release its dst if
target socket do not use IP_CMSG_PKTINFO.

tcp_data_queue() can drop dst too.

This to benefit from a hot cache line and avoid the receiver, possibly
on another cpu, to dirty this cache line himself.
