This adds 3 sysctls which govern the retransmission behaviour of DCCP control
packets (3way handshake, feature negotiation).
It removes 4 FIXMEs from the code.
The close resemblance of sysctl variables to their TCP analogues is emphasised
not only by their name, but also by giving them the same initial values.
This is useful since there is not much practical experience with DCCP yet.
Furthermore, with regard to the previous patch, it is now possible to limit
the number of keepalive-Responses by setting net.dccp.default.request_retries
(also a bit like in TCP).
Lastly, added documentation of all existing DCCP sysctls.

This updates program documentation: spell out precise conditions about
which packets are eligible for retransmission (which is actually quite
hard to extract from RFC 4340).
It is based on the following table derived from RFC 4340:
+-----------+---------------------------------+---------------------+
| Type | Retransmit? | Remark |
+-----------+---------------------------------+---------------------+
| Request | in client-REQUEST state | sec. 8.1.1 |
| Response | NEVER | SHOULD NOT, 8.1.3 |
| Data | NEVER | unreliable protocol |
| Ack | possible in client-PARTOPEN | sec. 8.1.5 |
| DataAck | NEVER | unreliable protocol |
| CloseReq | only in server-CLOSEREQ state | MUST, sec. 8.3 |
| Close | in node-CLOSING state | MUST, sec. 8.3 |
+-----------+-------------------------------------------------------+
| Reset | only in response to other packets |
| Sync | only in response to sequence-invalid packets (7.5.4) |
| SyncAck | only in response to Sync packets |
+-----------+-------------------------------------------------------+
Hence the only packets eligible for retransmission are:
* Requests in client-REQUEST state (sec. 8.1.1)
* Acks in client-PARTOPEN state (sec. 8.1.5)
* CloseReq in server-CLOSEREQ state (sec. 8.3)
* Close in node-CLOSING state (sec. 8.3)
I had meant to put in a check for these types too, but have left that
for later.

This removes two redundancies:

is always true, due to
* tcp_v6_conn_request() is the only function calling this one
* tcp_v6_conn_request() redirects all skb's with ETH_P_IP protocol to
tcp_v4_conn_request() [ cf. top of tcp_v6_conn_request()]

This patch does the following:
a) introduces variable-length checksums as specified in [RFC 4340, sec. 9.2]
b) provides necessary socket options and documentation as to how to use them
c) basic support and infrastructure for the Minimum Checksum Coverage feature
[RFC 4340, sec. 9.2.1]: acceptability tests, user notification and user
interface
In addition, it
(1) fixes two bugs in the DCCPv4 checksum computation:
* pseudo-header used checksum_len instead of skb->len
* incorrect checksum coverage calculation based on dccph_x
(2) removes dccp_v4_verify_checksum() since it reduplicates code of the
checksum computation; code calling this function is updated accordingly.
(3) now uses skb_checksum(), which is safer than checksum_partial() if the
sk_buff has is a non-linear buffer (has pages attached to it).
(4) fixes an outstanding TODO item:
* If P.CsCov is too large for the packet size, drop packet and return.
The code has been tested with applications, the latest version of tcpdump now
comes with support for partial DCCP checksums.

This patch removes two functions, the send_ack functions of request_sock,
which are not called/used by the DCCP code. It is correct that these
functions are not called, below is a justification why calling these
functions (on a passive socket in the LISTEN/RESPOND state) would mean
a DCCP protocol violation.
A) Background: using request_sock in TCP:
Gerrit Renker noticed dccp_tw_deschedule and submitted a patch with a FIXME,
but as he suggests in the same patch the best thing is to just ditch this
declaration, while doing that also noticed that tcp_tw_count is as well not
defined anywhere, so ditch it too.

An alternate solution would be to make the digest a pointer, allocate
it in sctp_endpoint_init() and free it in sctp_endpoint_destroy().

We currently allocate a fixed size (TCP_SYNQ_HSIZE=512) slots hash table for
each LISTEN socket, regardless of various parameters (listen backlog for
example)
On x86_64, this means order-1 allocations (might fail), even for 'small'
sockets, expecting few connections. On the contrary, a huge server wanting a
backlog of 50000 is slowed down a bit because of this fixed limit.
This patch makes the sizing of listen hash table a dynamic parameter,
depending of :
- net.core.somaxconn tunable (default is 128)
- net.ipv4.tcp_max_syn_backlog tunable (default : 256, 1024 or 128)
- backlog value given by user application (2nd parameter of listen())
For large allocations (bigger than PAGE_SIZE), we use vmalloc() instead of
kmalloc().
We still limit memory allocation with the two existing tunables (somaxconn &
tcp_max_syn_backlog). So for standard setups, this patch actually reduce RAM
usage.

Since the upstreaming of the mlsxfrm modification a few months back,
testing has resulted in the identification of the following issues/bugs that
are resolved in this patch set.
1. Fix the security context used in the IKE negotiation to be the context
of the socket as opposed to the context of the SPD rule.
2. Fix SO_PEERSEC for tcp sockets to return the security context of
the peer as opposed to the source.
3. Fix the selection of an SA for an outgoing packet to be at the same
context as the originating socket/flow.
The following would be the result of applying this patchset:
- SO_PEERSEC will now correctly return the peer's context.
- IKE deamons will receive the context of the source socket/flow
as opposed to the SPD rule's context so that the negotiated SA
will be at the same context as the source socket/flow.
- The SELinux policy will require one or more of the
following for a socket to be able to communicate with/without SAs:
1. To enable a socket to communicate without using labeled-IPSec SAs:
allow socket_t unlabeled_t:association { sendto recvfrom }
2. To enable a socket to communicate with labeled-IPSec SAs:
allow socket_t self:association { sendto };
allow socket_t peer_sa_t:association { recvfrom };
This Patch: Pass correct security context to IKE for use in negotiation
