tcp, tcp_splice: Remove redundant handling from tcp_timer()

tcp_timer() scans the connection table, expiring "tap" connections and
calling tcp_splice_timer() for "splice" connections.  tcp_splice_timer()
expires spliced connections and then does some other processing.

However, tcp_timer() is always called shortly after tcp_defer_handler()
(from post_handler()), which also scans the flow table expiring both tap
and spliced connections.  So remove the redundant handling, and only do
the extra tcp_splice_timer() work from tcp_timer().
