tcp: SYN packets are now simply consumed

Browse Source 
We now have proper per-listener but also per network namespace counters
for SYN packets that might be dropped.

We replace the kfree_skb() by consume_skb() to be drop monitor [1]
friendly, and remove an obsolete comment.
FastOpen SYN packets can carry payload in them just fine.

[1] perf record -a -g -e skb:kfree_skb sleep 1; perf report

/* Now we have several options: In theory there is
* nothing else in the frame. KA9Q has an option to
* send data with the syn, BSD accepts data with the
* syn up to the [to be] advertised window and
* Solaris 2.1 gives you a protocol error. For now
* we just ignore it, that fits the spec precisely
* and avoids incompatibilities. It would be nice in
* future to drop through and process the data.
*
* Now that TTCP is starting to be used we ought to
* queue this data.
* But, this leaves one open to an easy denial of
* service attack, and SYN cookies can't defend
* against this problem. So, we drop the data
* in the interest of security over speed unless
* it's still in use.
