During testing 7.0-CURRENT I have found that it always sends syncookies

0 cookies sent
0 cookies received

I have looked sources and found that in early versions the sent counter
was simply not incremented at all. The patch attached.

After the patch has been applied I have found that 6 always sends
syncookies too, however, 6 unlike 7 never receives them. Why ?

Mine does:

$ netstat -sp tcp | grep cook
51588 cookies sent
25 cookies received
$ uname -r
6.2-STABLE
