SYNPROXY is resetting conntrack seqadj when a closed connection is
re-opened, but it was using nf_ct_seqadj_init() which is a no-op for a
zero offset.
This patch introduces nf_ct_seqadj_reset() which sets the offset values
directly to zero and avoid setting IPS_SEQ_ADJUST_BIT flag, it changes
SYNPROXY code to use it when needed.
Fixes: 48b1de4c110a ("netfilter: add SYNPROXY core/target")

Note: this is targeted at nf-next because it is really unlikely to hit
this issue. In essence, it is a problem only if the re-opened connection
offset calculation is 0 too.
