Eric Dumazet ab5c718d0f tcp: implement RFC 5961 4.2
[ Upstream commit 0c24604b68 ]

Implement the RFC 5691 mitigation against Blind
Reset attack using SYN bit.

Section 4.2 of RFC 5961 advises to send a Challenge ACK and drop
incoming packet, instead of resetting the session.

Add a new SNMP counter to count number of challenge acks sent
in response to SYN packets.
(netstat -s | grep TCPSYNChallenge)

Remove obsolete TCPAbortOnSyn, since we no longer abort a TCP session
because of a SYN flag.
