Subject: [PATCH v3 5/7] TCPCT part 2e: accept SYNACK data

When accompanied by cookie option, Initiator (client) queues incoming
SYNACK transaction data.

This is a straightforward re-implementation of an earlier (18 month old)
patch that no longer applies cleanly, with permission of the original
author (Adam Langley).  The patch was previously reviewed:

    http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/102586

This function will also be used in subsequent patches that implement
additional features.

Requires:
   TCPCT part 1g: Responder Cookie => Initiator
   net: tcp_header_len_th and tcp_option_len_th
