Ah, it seems possible.  I was wondering how the timer can be delayed
until sk is freed.  In such a case, the timer will just let the peer
generate some challenge ACKs.

Exactly, it seems illegal to call it from the timer.
Then, we need a variant of inet_csk_reqsk_queue_drop() to see if
the caller is tiemr or not. (compile-test only)
