[PATCH 3.14 01/46] tcp: make challenge acks faster

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

3.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

When backporting upstream commit 75ff39ccc1bd ("tcp: make challenge acks
less predictable") I negelected to use the correct ACCESS* type macros.
This fixes that up to hopefully speed things up a bit more.

Thanks to Chas Wiliams for the 3.10 backport which reminded me of this.
