Now we allow storing more request socks per listener, we might hit syncookie mode less often and hit following bug in our stack : When we send a burst of syncookies, then exit this mode, tcp_synq_no_recent_overflow() can return false if the ACK packets coming from clients are coming three seconds after the end of syncookie episode. This is a way too strong requirement and conflicts with rest of syncookie code which allows ACK to be aged up to 2 minutes. Perfectly valid ACK packets are dropped just because clients might be in a crowded wifi environment or on another planet. So let's fix this, and also change tcp_synq_overflow() to not dirty a cache line for every syncookie we send, as we are under attack.
