tcp: fix sequence numbers for repaired sockets re-using TIME-WAIT sockets
This patch fixes a bug where the sequence numbers of a socket created using TCP repair functionality are lower than set after connect is called. This occurs when the repair socket overlaps with a TIME-WAIT socket and triggers the re-use code. The amount lower is equal to the number of times that a particular IP/port set is re-used and then put back into TIME-WAIT. Re-using the first time the sequence number is 1 lower, closing that socket and then re-opening (with repair) a new socket with the same addresses/ports puts the sequence number 2 lower than set via setsockopt. The third time is 3 lower, etc. I have not tested what the limit of this acrewal is, if any. The fix is, if a socket is in repair mode, to respect the already set sequence number and timestamp when it would have already re-used the TIME-WAIT socket.
