Commit 2bd99aef1b ("tcp: accept bare FIN packets under memory
pressure") allowed accepting FIN packets in tcp_data_queue() even when
the receive window was closed, to prevent ACK/FIN loops with broken
clients.
Such a FIN packet is in sequence, but because the FIN consumes a
sequence number, it extends beyond the window. Before commit
9ca48d616e ("tcp: do not accept packets beyond window"),
tcp_sequence() only required the seq to be within the window. After
that change, the entire packet (including the FIN) must fit within the
window. As a result, such FIN packets are now dropped and the handling
path is no longer reached.
Be more lenient by not counting the sequence number consumed by the
FIN when calling tcp_sequence(), restoring the previous behavior for
cases where only the FIN extends beyond the window.
