tcp: remove poll() flakes when receiving RST

When a RST packet is processed, we send two wakeup events to interested
polling users.

First one by a sk->sk_error_report(sk) from tcp_reset(),
followed by a sk->sk_state_change(sk) from tcp_done().

Depending on machine load and luck, poll() can either return POLLERR,
or POLLIN|POLLOUT|POLLERR|POLLHUP (this happens on 99 % of the cases)

This is probably fine, but we can avoid the confusion by reordering
things so that we have more TCP fields updated before the first wakeup.

This might even allow us to remove some barriers we added in the past.
