tcp: SYN packets are now simply consumed
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 Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
