4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

[ Upstream commit 72ef9c4125c7b257e3a714d62d778ab46583d6a3 ]

This patch fixes a memory leak, which happens if the connection request
is not fulfilled between parsing the DCCP options and handling the SYN
(because e.g. the backlog is full), because we forgot to free the
list of ack vectors.
