When we building a syn packet, the tcp_skb_pcount(skb) is always 1, which is set in tcp_init_nondata_skb(). Regarding the syn_data, it is set through memcpy(syn_data->cb, syn->cb, sizeof(syn->cb)), which is always 1 as well.
So we don't need to use tcp_skb_pcount(skb), that could give us a little improvement.
