tcp: fix stale per-CPU tcp_tw_isn leak enabling ISN prediction

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

tcp: fix stale per-CPU tcp_tw_isn leak enabling ISN prediction

Blamed commit moved the TIME_WAIT-derived ISN from the skb control
block to a per-CPU variable, assuming the value would always be consumed
by tcp_conn_request() for the same packet that wrote it. That assumption
is violated by multiple drop paths between the producer
(__this_cpu_write(tcp_tw_isn, isn) in tcp_v{4,6}_rcv()) and the consumer
(tcp_conn_request()):

 - min_ttl / min_hopcount check
 - xfrm policy check
 - tcp_inbound_hash() MD5/AO mismatch
 - tcp_filter() eBPF/SO_ATTACH_FILTER drop
 - th->syn && th->fin discard in tcp_rcv_state_process() TCP_LISTEN
 - psp_sk_rx_policy_check() in tcp_v{4,6}_do_rcv()
 - tcp_checksum_complete() in tcp_v{4,6}_do_rcv()
 - tcp_v{4,6}_cookie_check() returning NULL

When a packet is dropped on any of these paths, tcp_tw_isn is left set.

The next SYN processed on the same CPU then consumes the non zero value in
tcp_conn_request(), receiving a potentially predictable ISN.

This patch moves back tcp_tw_isn to skb->cb[], getting rid of the per-cpu
variable.

Note that tcp_v{4,6}_fill_cb() do not set it.

Very litle impact on overall code size/complexity:
