Subject: [PATCH 1/3] dccp: fix return value for sequence-invalid packets

From: Samuel Jero <sj323707@...o.edu>

Currently dccp_check_seqno returns 0 (indicating a valid packet) if the
acknowledgment number is out of bounds and the sync that RFC 4340 mandates at
this point is currently being rate-limited. This function should return -1,
indicating an invalid packet.
