Userspace sends tcp connection (sock) destroy on network switch
i.e switching the default network of the device between multiple
networks(Cellular/Wifi/Ethernet).
Kernel though doesn't send reset for the connections in SYN-SENT state
and these connections continue to remain.
Even as per RFC 793, there is no hard rule to not send RST on ABORT in
this state.
Modify tcp_abort and tcp_disconnect behavior to send RST for connections
in syn-sent state to avoid lingering connections on network switch.
