Eric Dumazet 91934d4446 tcp: refine tcp_sequence() for the FIN exception
Commit 0e24d17bd9 ("tcp: implement RFC 7323 window retraction
receiver requirements") removed the special FIN case that
was added in commit 1e3bb184e9 ("tcp: re-enable acceptance of
FIN packets when RWIN is 0").

If a peer sends a segment containing data and a FIN flag before
it learns about our window retraction and has a buggy TCP stack,
it might place the FIN one byte beyond what it thinks is the
right edge of the window (i.e., max_window_edge + 1).

The data portion (end_seq - th->fin) will end exactly at max_window_edge.
In this case, we will drop the packet if our receive queue is not empty,
even though the data was sent within the window we previously allowed.
