Florian Westphal 4dfc281702 [Syncookies]: Add support for TCP options via timestamps.
Allow the use of SACK and window scaling when syncookies are used
and the client supports tcp timestamps. Options are encoded into
the timestamp sent in the syn-ack and restored from the timestamp
echo when the ack is received.

Based on earlier work by Glenn Griffin.
This patch avoids increasing the size of structs by encoding TCP
options into the least significant bits of the timestamp and
by not using any 'timestamp offset'.

The downside is that the timestamp sent in the packet after the synack
will increase by several seconds.

changes since v1:
 don't duplicate timestamp echo decoding function, put it into ipv4/syncookie.c
 and have ipv6/syncookies.c use it.
 Feedback from Glenn Griffin: fix line indented with spaces, kill redundant if ()

Florian Westphal 2051f11fb8 [TCP]: Shrink syncookie_secret by 8 byte.
the first u32 copied from syncookie_secret is overwritten by the
minute-counter four lines below.  After adjusting the destination
address, the size of syncookie_secret can be reduced accordingly.

AFAICS, the only other user of syncookie_secret[] is the ipv6
syncookie support.  Because ipv6 syncookies only grab 44 bytes from
syncookie_secret[], this shouldn't affect them in any way.

With fixes from Glenn Griffin.

Glenn Griffin c6aefafb7e [TCP]: Add IPv6 support to TCP SYN cookies
Updated to incorporate Eric's suggestion of using a per cpu buffer
rather than allocating on the stack.  Just a two line change, but will
resend in it's entirety.
