tcp/dccp: drop SYN packets if accept queue is full

commit 5ea8ea2cb7f1d0db15762c9b0bb9e7330425a071 upstream.

Per listen(fd, backlog) rules, there is really no point accepting a SYN,
sending a SYNACK, and dropping the following ACK packet if accept queue
is full, because application is not draining accept queue fast enough.

This behavior is fooling TCP clients that believe they established a
flow, while there is nothing at server side. They might then send about
10 MSS (if using IW10) that will be dropped anyway while server is under
stress.
