syncookies: check decoded options against sysctl settings

Discard the ACK if we find options that do not match current sysctl
settings.

Previously it was possible to create a connection with sack, wscale,
etc. enabled even if the feature was disabled via sysctl.

Also remove an unneeded call to tcp_sack_reset() in
cookie_check_timestamp: Both call sites (cookie_v4_check,
cookie_v6_check) zero "struct tcp_options_received", hand it to
tcp_parse_options() (which does not change tcp_opt->num_sacks/dsack)
and then call cookie_check_timestamp().

Even if num_sacks/dsacks were changed, the structure is allocated on
the stack and after cookie_check_timestamp returns only a few selected
members are copied to the inet_request_sock.
