    when IPS_SEQ_ADJUST_BIT is not set, there are no need to obtain
net_offset in tcp_in_window from tcp_packet.
    nat_offset will acquire global nf_nat_seqofs_lock spinlock,
and on heavy load, there will be big contention. After 30 secs webbench
stress testing, we can see from lockstat:
                    nf_nat_seqofs_lock:        798200         798213
		    1.01          57.37      216229.42        9943722
		    10055712           0.61          60.70
		    1909636.49
 and from perf report, nf_nat_get_offset contributes 18.49% of our
 overall spin_lock_bh cost, It's unnecessary.
