[PATCH net v2 2/2] tcp: limit wake-up for crossed SYN cases to SYN-ACK

[Matthieu Baerts (NGI0)]

sk->sk_socket will be assigned in case of marginal crossed SYN, but also
in other cases, e.g.

 - With TCP Fast Open, if the connection got accept()'ed before
   receiving the 3rd ACK ;

 - With MPTCP, when accepting additional subflows to an existing MPTCP
   connection.

In these cases, the switch to TCP_ESTABLISHED is done when receiving the
3rd ACK, without the SYN flag then.

To properly restrict the wake-up to crossed SYN cases, it is then
required to also limit the check to packets containing the SYN-ACK
flags.

While at it, also update the attached comment: sk->sk_sleep has been
removed in 2010, and replaced by sk->sk_wq in commit 43815482370c ("net:
sock_def_readable() and friends RCU conversion").

Fixes: 168a8f58059a ("tcp: TCP Fast Open Server - main code path")

Notes:
 - The above 'Fixes' tag should correspond to the commit introducing the
   possibility to have sk->sk_socket being set there in other cases than
   the crossed SYN one. But I might have missed other cases. Maybe
   1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2") might be safer? On the other hand,
   I don't think this wake-up was causing any visible issue, apart from
   not being needed.
