tcp: temporarily disable Fast Open on SYN timeout
Fast Open currently has a fall back feature to address SYN-data being
dropped but it requires the middle-box to pass on regular SYN retry
after SYN-data. This is implemented in commit aab487435 ("net-tcp:
Fast Open client - detecting SYN-data drops")
However some NAT boxes will drop all subsequent packets after first
SYN-data and blackholes the entire connections. An example is in
commit 356d7d8 "netfilter: nf_conntrack: fix tcp_in_window for Fast
Open".
The sender should note such incidents and fall back to use the regular
TCP handshake on subsequent attempts temporarily as well: after the
second SYN timeouts the original Fast Open SYN is most likely lost.
When such an event recurs Fast Open is disabled based on the number of
recurrences exponentially.
