From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
When backporting upstream commit 75ff39ccc1bd ("tcp: make challenge acks
less predictable") I negelected to use the correct ACCESS* type macros.
This fixes that up to hopefully speed things up a bit more.
Thanks to Chas Wiliams for the 3.10 backport which reminded me of this.
