[PATCH net-next v3 1/2] tcp: add TCP_RFC7323_TW_PAWS drop reason

[Jiayuan Chen]

PAWS is a long-standing issue, especially when there are upstream network
devices, making it more prone to occur.

Currently, packet loss statistics for PAWS can only be viewed through MIB,
which is a global metric and cannot be precisely obtained through tracing
to get the specific 4-tuple of the dropped packet. In the past, we had to
use kprobe ret to retrieve relevant skb information from
tcp_timewait_state_process().

We add a drop_reason pointer, similar to what previous commit does:
commit e34100c2ecbb ("tcp: add a drop_reason pointer to tcp_check_req()")

This commit addresses the PAWSESTABREJECTED case and also sets the
corresponding drop reason.

We use 'pwru' to test.

Before this commit:
