Well, this is partly because we can not guarantee the behavior that I
chose to explicitly state that we were not tracking SYNACK for passive
sessions.
Also TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT comes into play here...
If we want to handle this in a deterministic way, we would have to add
some bit to warn the application reading tcp_info that the session was
initiated after a valid syncookie was received, and that initial value
of tcp_info.tcpi_segs_{in|out} can be wrong.
