RFC 2525 - common tcp problems, says we should send RST in this case,
although it does not specify should we send it if socket is in CLOSED
state or not. Well, we send :)
Even if tcp_send_active_reset() will check if socket is in CLOSED state
and will not send data, but is still there, it will not be easily
triggered though, but it can be possible.
