docs: networking: timestamping: mention MSG_EOR flag 

TCP got MSG_EOR support in linux-4.7.

This is a canonical way of making sure no coalescing
will be performed on the skb, even if it could not be
immediately sent.

autocork. After linux-4.7, a better way to prevent coalescing is
to use MSG_EOR flag at sendmsg() time.
These precautions ensure that the timestamp is generated only when all
bytes have passed a timestamp point, assuming that the network stack
