tcp: better handle TCP_USER_TIMEOUT in SYN_SENT state

[ Upstream commit a66b10c05ee2d744189e9a2130394b070883d289 ]

Yuchung Cheng and Marek Majkowski independently reported a weird
behavior of TCP_USER_TIMEOUT option when used at connect() time.

When the TCP_USER_TIMEOUT is reached, tcp_write_timeout()
believes the flow should live, and the following condition
in tcp_clamp_rto_to_user_timeout() programs one jiffie timers :

    remaining = icsk->icsk_user_timeout - elapsed;
    if (remaining <= 0)
        return 1; /* user timeout has passed; fire ASAP */

This silly situation ends when the max syn rtx count is reached.

This patch makes sure we honor both TCP_SYNCNT and TCP_USER_TIMEOUT,
avoiding these spurious SYN packets.

Fixes: b701a99e ("tcp: Add tcp_clamp_rto_to_user_timeout() helper to improve accuracy")
