RFC 1122, 4.2.2.13:
 [..] if new data is received after CLOSE is called, its TCP
 SHOULD send a RST to show that data was lost.

 When a connection is closed actively, it MUST linger in
 TIME-WAIT state [..].

We reset a connection, but destroy state immediately.

After discussing this with Hannes, we decided it was preferable
to also move to TW state to avoid immediate port reuse.

packetdrill testcase:

0.000 socket(..., SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP) = 3
0.000 setsockopt(3, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, [1], 4) = 0
0.000 bind(3, ..., ...) = 0
0.000 listen(3, 1) = 0
0.100 < S 0:0(0) win 29200 <mss 1460>
0.100 > S. 0:0(0) ack 1 <mss 1460>
0.200 < . 1:1(0) ack 1 win 257
0.200 accept(3, ..., ...) = 4
// close our side.
0.210 close(4) = 0
// we should expect to see FIN now, sk moves to FIN_WAIT_1
0.210 > F. 1:1(0) ack 1 win 29200
// receive data, but sk already closed -> Reset
0.300 < P. 1:1001(1000) ack 1 win 46
0.300 > R 1:1(0) win 0

We got complaint from customer that CLOSED state transition
is RFC violation.

The advantage of current behaviour is that further packets will also
result in RST.

I'm interested if others think its worth changing this now.

Thanks.
