Subject: [PATCH v2 net-next 11/14] tcp: accecn: fallback outgoing half link to non-AccECN

From: Chia-Yu Chang <chia-yu.chang@...ia-bell-labs.com>

According to Section 3.2.2.1 of AccECN spec (RFC9768), if the Server
is in AccECN mode and in SYN-RCVD state, and if it receives a value of
zero on a pure ACK with SYN=0 and no SACK blocks, for the rest of the
connection the Server MUST NOT set ECT on outgoing packets and MUST
NOT respond to AccECN feedback. Nonetheless, as a Data Receiver it
MUST NOT disable AccECN feedback.
