Subject: [PATCH] ipv4: avoid divide 0 error in tcp_incr_quickack

There was a wrong ack packet coming during TCP handshake. The socket's state
was TCP_SYN_RECV, its rcv_mss was not initialize yet. So
tcp_send_dupack -> tcp_enter_quickack_mode got a divide 0 error.
This patch add a state check before tcp_enter_quickack_mode.
