    tcp: prepare fastopen code for upcoming listener changes · 0536fcc0

    While auditing TCP stack for upcoming 'lockless' listener changes,
    I found I had to change fastopen_init_queue() to properly init the object
    before publishing it.
    
    Otherwise an other cpu could try to lock the spinlock before it gets
    properly initialized.
    
    Instead of adding appropriate barriers, just remove dynamic memory
    allocations :
    - Structure is 28 bytes on 64bit arches. Using additional 8 bytes
      for holding a pointer seems overkill.
    - Two listeners can share same cache line and performance would suffer.
    
    If we really want to save few bytes, we would instead dynamically allocate
    whole struct request_sock_queue in the future.
