mainlining shenanigans

The TCPI_OPT_SYN_DATA bit as part of tcpi_options currently reports whether or not data-in-SYN was ack'd on both the client and server side. We'd like to gather more information on the client-side in the failure case in order to indicate the reason for the failure. This can be useful for not only debugging TFO, but also for creating TFO socket policies. For example, if a middle box removes the TFO option or drops a data-in-SYN, we can can detect this case, and turn off TFO for these connections saving the extra retransmits. The newly added tcpi_fastopen_client_fail status is 2 bits and has the following 4 states: 1) TFO_STATUS_UNSPEC Catch-all state which includes when TFO is disabled via black hole detection, which is indicated via LINUX_MIB_TCPFASTOPENBLACKHOLE. 2) TFO_COOKIE_UNAVAILABLE If TFO_CLIENT_NO_COOKIE mode is off, this state indicates that no cookie is available in the cache. 3) TFO_DATA_NOT_ACKED Data was sent with SYN, we received a SYN/ACK but it did not cover the data portion. Cookie is not accepted by server because the cookie may be invalid or the server may be overloaded. 4) TFO_SYN_RETRANSMITTED Data was sent with SYN, we received a SYN/ACK which did not cover the data after at least 1 additional SYN was sent (without data). It may be the case that a middle-box is dropping data-in-SYN packets. Thus, it would be more efficient to not use TFO on this connection to avoid extra retransmits during connection establishment. These new fields do not cover all the cases where TFO may fail, but other failures, such as SYN/ACK + data being dropped, will result in the connection not becoming established. And a connection blackhole after session establishment shows up as a stalled connection.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
