net: simplify flags for tx timestamping 

This patch removes the abstraction introduced by the union skb_shared_tx in
the shared skb data.

The access of the different union elements at several places led to some
confusion about accessing the shared tx_flags e.g. in skb_orphan_try().

Time stamps for outgoing packets are to be generated as follows:
