netfilter: nf_conntrack: fix tcp_in_window for Fast Open



Currently the conntrack checks if the ending sequence of a packet
falls within the observed receive window. However it does so even
if it has not observe any packet from the remote yet and uses an
uninitialized receive window (td_maxwin).

If a connection uses Fast Open to send a SYN-data packet which is
dropped afterward in the network. The subsequent SYNs retransmits
will all fail this check and be discarded, leading to a connection
timeout. This is because the SYN retransmit does not contain data
payload so

end == initial sequence number (isn) + 1
sender->td_end == isn + syn_data_len
receiver->td_maxwin == 0

The fix is to only apply this check after td_maxwin is initialized.
