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.
