Subject: [PATCH v6 net-next 09/14] tcp: add TCP_SYNACK_RETRANS synack_type

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

Before this patch, retransmitted SYN/ACK did not have a specific synack_type;
however, the upcoming patch needs to distinguish between retransmitted and
non-retransmitted SYN/ACK for AccECN negotiation to transmit the fallback
SYN/ACK during AccECN negotiation. Therefore, this patch introduces a new
synack_type (TCP_SYNACK_RETRANS).

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

---
v6:
- Add new synack_type instead of moving the increment of num_retran.
