Subject: [PATCH 5/5] netfilter: SYNPROXY: fix sending window update to client

From: Phil Sutter <phil@....cc>

Upon receipt of SYNACK from the server, ipt_SYNPROXY first sends back an ACK to
finish the server handshake, then calls nf_ct_seqadj_init() to initiate
sequence number adjustment of forwarded packets to the client and finally sends
a window update to the client to unblock it's TX queue.

Since synproxy_send_client_ack() does not set synproxy_send_tcp()'s nfct
parameter, no sequence number adjustment happens and the client receives the
window update with incorrect sequence number. Depending on client TCP
implementation, this leads to a significant delay (until a window probe is
being sent).
