Subject: tcp: remove poll() flakes with FastOpen

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>


[ Upstream commit 0f9fa831aecfc297b7b45d4f046759bcefcf87f0 ]

When using TCP FastOpen for an active session, we send one wakeup event
from tcp_finish_connect(), right before the data eventually contained in
the received SYNACK is queued to sk->sk_receive_queue.

This means that depending on machine load or luck, poll() users
might receive POLLOUT events instead of POLLIN|POLLOUT

To fix this, we need to move the call to sk->sk_state_change()
after the (optional) call to tcp_rcv_fastopen_synack()
