Note that under normal SYNACK processing, we do not read sock_net(sk)
here.

This patch would slow down the SYNACK path under stress, unless compiler
is smart enough to not care of what you wrote.

Generally speaking, I do not see why storing 'struct net' pointer into a
variable in the stack is very different from sk->sk_net access (sk being
a register in most cases)

Note that I am about to submit following patch, so that you understand
the context : the listener socket is cold in cpu cache at the time we
transmit a SYNACK. It is better to get net from the request_sock which
is very hot at this point.
