tcp: TCP Fast Open Server - note timestamps and retransmits for SYNACK RTT



Previously, when using TCP Fast Open a server would return from
tcp_check_req() before updating snt_synack based on TCP timestamp echo
replies and whether or not we've retransmitted the SYNACK. The result
was that (a) for TFO connections using timestamps we used an incorrect
baseline SYNACK send time (tcp_time_stamp of SYNACK send instead of
rcv_tsecr), and (b) for TFO connections that do not have TCP
timestamps but retransmit the SYNACK we took a SYNACK RTT sample when
we should not take a sample.

This fix merely moves the snt_synack update logic a bit earlier in the
function, so that connections using TCP Fast Open will properly do
these updates when the ACK for the SYNACK arrives.

Moving this snt_synack update logic means that with TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT
enabled we do a few instructions of wasted work on each bare ACK, but
that seems OK.
