[PATCH v3 2/7] net: remove old tcp_optlen function
The tcp_optlen() function returns a potential *negative* unsigned. In the only two existing files using the old tcp_optlen() function, clean up confusing and inconsistent mixing of both byte and word offsets, and other coding style issues. Document assumptions.
