The idea seems very nice to me, but I think a line or two got dropped
in a rebase. :-)

In the previous version of this patch you moved the TFO-specific call
to tcp_synack_rtt_meas() out to a spot in tcp_rcv_state_process()
where both TFO and non-TFO passive connections would hit it. In this
version of the patch it removes the existing calls to
tcp_synack_rtt_meas() but does not add this new call to replace them.
(And it does not seem to be added back in a later patch in the
series.)

Other than that, looks great.
