tcp: replace TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->tcp_tw_isn with a per-cpu field

TCP can transform a TIMEWAIT socket into a SYN_RECV one from
a SYN packet, and the ISN of the SYNACK packet is normally
generated using TIMEWAIT tw_snd_nxt :

tcp_timewait_state_process()
...
    u32 isn = tcptw->tw_snd_nxt + 65535 + 2;
    if (isn == 0)
        isn++;
    TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->tcp_tw_isn = isn;
    return TCP_TW_SYN;

This SYN packet also bypasses normal checks against listen queue
being full or not.

tcp_conn_request()
...
       __u32 isn = TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->tcp_tw_isn;
...
        /* TW buckets are converted to open requests without
         * limitations, they conserve resources and peer is
         * evidently real one.
         */
        if ((syncookies == 2 || inet_csk_reqsk_queue_is_full(sk)) && !isn) {
                want_cookie = tcp_syn_flood_action(sk, rsk_ops->slab_name);
                if (!want_cookie)
                        goto drop;
        }

This was using TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->tcp_tw_isn field in skb.

Unfortunately this field has been accidentally cleared
after the call to tcp_timewait_state_process() returning
TCP_TW_SYN.

Using a field in TCP_SKB_CB(skb) for a temporary state
is overkill.

Switch instead to a per-cpu variable.

As a bonus, we do not have to clear tcp_tw_isn in TCP receive
fast path.
It is temporarily set then cleared only in the TCP_TW_SYN dance.
