tcp: improve SEG.SEQ validation for RST segments
A RST segment can be sent in response to
(a) received segment or
(b) by the upper layer protocol.
The SEG.SEQ validation consists of two checks:
(1) the in-window check of SEG.SEQ and
(2) the exact match check of SEG.SEQ.
For the in-window check (1), the left edge of the window needs to be
based on tp->last_ack_sent to cover the delayed ACK case, whereas the
right edge needs to be based on tp->rcv_nxt + tp->rcv_wnd. This both
assumes that tp->rcv_wnd is not zero. For the special case of
tp->rcv_wnd being zero, add checks against tp->last_ack_sent for (a)
and on tp->rcv_nxt for (b). This applies to all TCP stacks.
When the exact match (2) of SEG.SEQ is performed, it should be based
on tp->last_ack_sent for (a) and on tp->rcv_nxt for (b). To cover both,
check for both. Add this only to the base stack, since the RACK and
BBR stacks already do this.
