Gerrit Renker a94f0f9705 [DCCP]: Rate-limit DCCP-Syncs
This implements a SHOULD from RFC 4340, 7.5.4:
 "To protect against denial-of-service attacks, DCCP implementations SHOULD
  impose a rate limit on DCCP-Syncs sent in response to sequence-invalid packets,
  such as not more than eight DCCP-Syncs per second."

The rate-limit is maintained on a per-socket basis. This is a more stringent
policy than enforcing the rate-limit on a per-source-address basis and
protects against attacks with forged source addresses.

Moreover, the mechanism is deliberately kept simple. In contrast to
xrlim_allow(), bursts of Sync packets in reply to sequence-invalid packets
are not supported.  This foils such attacks where the receipt of a Sync
triggers further sequence-invalid packets. (I have tested this mechanism against
xrlim_allow algorithm for Syncs, permitting bursts just increases the problems.)

In order to keep flexibility, the timeout parameter can be set via sysctl; and
the whole mechanism can even be disabled (which is however not recommended).

The algorithm in this patch has been improved with regard to wrapping issues
thanks to a suggestion by Arnaldo.

Commiter note: Rate limited the step 6 DCCP_WARN too, as it says we're
               sending a sync.
