Subject: [PATCH] tcp: expose listen socket backlog via SIOCGBACKLOG

This IOCTL exposes the current backlog for a listen socket.  This value can
be useful in userland, e.g. in an overloaded transparent proxy that would
rather push new connections into bypass than have then hang waiting for
accept.  Knowing the current backlog allows this process to make that
decision and then begin intercepting connections again once the backlog
falls to a reasonable level.
