> Commit 0c3d79bce48034018e840468ac5a642894a521a3 ("tcp: reduce SYN-ACK
> retrans for TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT") introduces syn_ack_recalc() which decides
> if a minisock is held and a SYN+ACK is retransmitted or not.
> 
> If rskq_defer_accept is not zero in syn_ack_recalc(), max_retries always
> has the same value because max_retries is overwritten by rskq_defer_accept
> in reqsk_timer_handler().
> 
> This commit adds three changes:
> - remove redundant non-zero check for rskq_defer_accept in
>    reqsk_timer_handler().
> - remove max_retries from the arguments of syn_ack_recalc() and use
>    rskq_defer_accept instead.
> - rename thresh to max_syn_ack_retries for readability.
