tcp: move duplicate code from tcp_v4_init_sock()/tcp_v6_init_sock()
This commit moves the (substantial) common code shared between tcp_v4_init_sock() and tcp_v6_init_sock() to a new address-family independent function, tcp_init_sock(). Centralizing this functionality should help avoid drift issues, e.g. where the IPv4 side is updated without a corresponding update to IPv6. There was already some drift: IPv4 initialized snd_cwnd to TCP_INIT_CWND, while the IPv6 side was still initializing snd_cwnd to 2 (in this case it should not matter, since snd_cwnd is also initialized in tcp_init_metrics(), but the general risks and maintenance overhead remain). When diffing the old and new code, note that new tcp_init_sock() function uses the order of steps from the tcp_v4_init_sock() implementation (the order is slightly different in tcp_v6_init_sock()).
