Subject: [PATCH 1/3] tcp: allow to enable repair mode for sockets in any state

The repair mode is used for dumping state of tcp connections
(sequence numbers, queues, options, etc).

Currently the repair mode can be enalbed only for sockets in the
TCP_ESTABLISHED state. If a socket in another state, its internal
state can not be dumped.

Same time there is no guarantee that a connection won't be in other
states when we are dumping it, thus to be able to dump and restore
such states we need to get rid of CLOSE,ESTABLISHED in-kernel
limitation.

I see nothing wrong to allow enabling of the repair mode for connected
sockets in any states.
