netfilter: SYNPROXY: Return NF_STOLEN instead of NF_DROP during handshaking
Current SYNPROXY codes return NF_DROP during normal TCP handshaking,
it is not friendly to caller. Because the nf_hook_slow would treat
the NF_DROP as an error, and return -EPERM.
As a result, it may cause the top caller think it meets one error.
For example, the following codes are from cfv_rx_poll()
err = netif_receive_skb(skb);
if (unlikely(err)) {
++cfv->ndev->stats.rx_dropped;
} else {
++cfv->ndev->stats.rx_packets;
cfv->ndev->stats.rx_bytes += skb_len;
}
When SYNPROXY returns NF_DROP, then netif_receive_skb returns -EPERM.
As a result, the cfv driver would treat it as an error, and increase
the rx_dropped counter.
So use NF_STOLEN instead of NF_DROP now because there is no error
happened indeed, and free the skb directly.
