[DCCP]: Do not process a packet twice when it's not in state DCCP_OPEN.
When packets are received, the connection is either in DCCP_OPEN [fast-path] or it isn't. If it's not [e.g. DCCP_PARTOPEN] upper layers will perform sanity checks and parse options. If it is in DCCP_OPEN, dccp_rcv_established() will do it. It is important not to re-parse options in dccp_rcv_established() when it is not called from the fast-path. Else, fore example, the ack vector will be added twice and the CCID will see the packet twice. The solution is to always enfore sanity checks from the upper layers. When packets arrive in the fast-path, sanity checks will be performed before calling dccp_rcv_established(). Note(acme): I rewrote the patch to achieve the same result but keeping dccp_rcv_established with the previous semantics and having it split into __dccp_rcv_established, that doesn't does do any sanity check, code in state != DCCP_OPEN use this lighter version as they already do the sanity checks.
