PATCH 1/1 secure_seq: downgrade to per-host timestamp offsets

Unfortunately too many devices (not under our control) use tcp_tw_recycle=1, which depends on timestamps being identical of the same saddr.

Although tcp_tw_recycle got removed in net-next we can't make such end hosts disappear so downgrade to per-host timestamp offsets.

Fixes 95a22caee396c ("tcp: randomize tcp timestamp offsets for each connection")

---
Got offlist report about this, the device in question was an IP camera.

David, I can cook a stable patch using jhash if needed, just let me know (siphash was added after 4.10).

Ok, applied and queued up for -stable.

Yes, I'll need that, thanks!
