Subject: [PATCH v1 net] tcp: Enable header prediction for active open connections with MD5.

TCP socket saves the minimum required header length in tcp_header_len
of struct tcp_sock, and later the value is used in __tcp_fast_path_on()
to generate a part of TCP header in tcp_sock(sk)->pred_flags.

In tcp_rcv_established(), if the incoming packet has the same pattern
with pred_flags, we enter the fast path and skip full option parsing.

The MD5 option is parsed in tcp_v[46]_rcv(), so we need not parse it
again later in tcp_rcv_established() unless other options exist.  Thus,
MD5 should add TCPOLEN_MD5SIG_ALIGNED to tcp_header_len and avoid the
slow path.

For passive open connections with MD5, we add TCPOLEN_MD5SIG_ALIGNED
to tcp_header_len in tcp_create_openreq_child() after 3WHS.

On the other hand, we do it in tcp_connect_init() for active open
connections.  However, the value is overwritten while processing
SYN+ACK or crossed SYN in tcp_rcv_synsent_state_process().

  SYN+ACK:
  tcp_rcv_synsent_state_process
    tp->tcp_header_len = sizeof(struct tcphdr) or
                         sizeof(struct tcphdr) + TCPOLEN_TSTAMP_ALIGNED
    tcp_finish_connect
      __tcp_fast_path_on

  Crossed SYN:
  tcp_rcv_synsent_state_process
    tp->tcp_header_len = sizeof(struct tcphdr) or
                         sizeof(struct tcphdr) + TCPOLEN_TSTAMP_ALIGNED
    tcp_finish_connect

  tcp_v4_rcv
    tcp_v4_do_rcv
      tcp_rcv_state_process
        tcp_fast_path_on

So these two cases will have the wrong value in pred_flags and never
go into the fast path.

Let's add TCPOLEN_MD5SIG_ALIGNED in tcp_rcv_synsent_state_process()
to enable header prediction for active open connections.
