[PATCH] tcp: do not expire TCP fastopen cookies

[PATCH] tcp: do not expire TCP fastopen cookies

[Eric Dumazet]

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>

TCP metric cache expires entries after one hour.

This probably make sense for TCP RTT/RTTVAR/CWND, but not
for TCP fastopen cookies.

Its better to try previous cookie. If it appears to be obsolete,
server will send us new cookie anyway.
