Wait a minute.

Are you sure treq->af_specific is initialized at this point ?

I should have tested this one liner patch really :/

I think that for syncookies, treq->af_specific is not initialized,
because we do not go through
tcp_conn_request() helper, but instead use cookie_tcp_reqsk_alloc()

Before your patch treq->af_specific was only used during SYNACK
generation, which does not happen in syncookie more while receiving
the third packet.

I will test something like this patch. We could move the init after
cookie_tcp_reqsk_alloc() has been called, but I prefer using the same
construct than tcp_conn_request()
