    tcp: remove tcp_tw_recycle · 4396e461

    The tcp_tw_recycle was already broken for connections
    behind NAT, since the per-destination timestamp is not
    monotonically increasing for multiple machines behind
    a single destination address.
    
    After the randomization of TCP timestamp offsets
    in commit 8a5bd45f6616 (tcp: randomize tcp timestamp offsets
    for each connection), the tcp_tw_recycle is broken for all
    types of connections for the same reason: the timestamps
    received from a single machine is not monotonically increasing,
    anymore.
    
    Remove tcp_tw_recycle, since it is not functional. Also, remove
    the PAWSPassive SNMP counter since it is only used for
    tcp_tw_recycle, and simplify tcp_v4_route_req and tcp_v6_route_req
    since the strict argument is only set when tcp_tw_recycle is
    enabled.
