Subject: [PATCH 5.4 018/108] tcp: annotate data-race around challenge_timestamp

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>

[ Upstream commit 8c70521238b7863c2af607e20bcba20f974c969b ]

challenge_timestamp can be read an written by concurrent threads.

This was expected, but we need to annotate the race to avoid potential issues.

Following patch moves challenge_timestamp and challenge_count
to per-netns storage to provide better isolation.

Fixes: 354e4aa391ed ("tcp: RFC 5961 5.2 Blind Data Injection Attack Mitigation")
