Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 1/2] tcp: call tcp_try_undo_recovery when an RTOd
 TFO SYNACK is ACKed

For passive TCP Fast Open sockets that had SYN/ACK timeout and did not
send more data in SYN_RECV, upon receiving the final ACK in 3WHS, the
congestion state may awkwardly stay in CA_Loss mode unless the CA state
was undone due to TCP timestamp checks. However, if
tcp_rcv_synrecv_state_fastopen() decides not to undo, then we should
enter CA_Open, because at that point we have received an ACK covering
the retransmitted SYNACKs. Currently, the icsk_ca_state is only set to
CA_Open after we receive an ACK for a data-packet. This is because
tcp_ack does not call tcp_fastretrans_alert (and tcp_process_loss) if
!prior_packets

Note that tcp_process_loss() calls tcp_try_undo_recovery(), so having
tcp_rcv_synrecv_state_fastopen() decide that if we're in CA_Loss we
should call tcp_try_undo_recovery() is consistent with that, and
low risk.
