Subject: RFC [PATCH 2/3] TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT updates: don't retransmit syn-ack
	while waiting for first data byte

Signed-off-by: Patrick McManus <mcmanus@...ksong.com>

    a socket in LISTEN that had completed its 3 way handshake, but not notified
    userspace because of SO_DEFER_ACCEPT, would retransmit the already
    acked syn-ack during the time it was waiting for the first data byte
    from the peer.
