syzkaller found another bug in DCCP/TCP stacks [1]

For the reasons explained in commit ce1050089c96 ("tcp/dccp: fix
ireq-&gt;pktopts race"), we need to make sure we do not access
ireq-&gt;opt unless we own the request sock.

Note the opt field is renamed to ireq_opt to ease grep games.

<title>ip/options: explicitly provide net ns to __ip_options_echo()</title>

__ip_options_echo() uses the current network namespace, and
currently retrives it via skb-&gt;dst-&gt;dev.

This commit adds an explicit 'net' argument to __ip_options_echo()
and update all the call sites to provide it, usually via a simpler
sock_net().

After this change, __ip_options_echo() no more needs to access
skb-&gt;dst and we can drop a couple of hack to preserve such
info in the rx path.

refcount_t type and corresponding API should be
used instead of atomic_t when the variable is used as
a reference counter. This allows to avoid accidental
refcounter overflows that might lead to use-after-free
situations.

This patch uses refcount_inc_not_zero() instead of
atomic_inc_not_zero_hint() due to absense of a _hint()
version of refcount API. If the hint() version must
be used, we might need to revisit API.

We want to move some TCP sysctls to net namespaces in the future.

tcp_window_scaling, tcp_sack and tcp_timestamps being fetched
from tcp_parse_options(), we need to pass an extra parameter.

<title>tcp: switch TCP TS option (RFC 7323) to 1ms clock</title>

TCP Timestamps option is defined in RFC 7323

Traditionally on linux, it has been tied to the internal
'jiffies' variable, because it had been a cheap and good enough
generator.

For TCP flows on the Internet, 1 ms resolution would be much better
than 4ms or 10ms (HZ=250 or HZ=100 respectively)

For TCP flows in the DC, Google has used usec resolution for more
than two years with great success [1]

Receive size autotuning (DRS) is indeed more precise and converges
faster to optimal window size.

This patch converts tp-&gt;tcp_mstamp to a plain u64 value storing
a 1 usec TCP clock.

This choice will allow us to upstream the 1 usec TS option as
discussed in IETF 97.
