Can you explain the handling in xs_tcp_state_change - why
XPRT_CONNECTED would need to remain set longer in the case of handling
TCP_CLOSE case rather than TCP_CLOSE_WAIT?  It seems like if we get an
RST we'll go directly to TCP_CLOSE and why would the XPRT_CONNECTED bit
getting cleared need to be delayed in that case?

I will look into the approach you mention though at the moment I do not
see how it helps because the underlying issue seems to be clearing of
the XPRT_CONNECTED bit.

Thanks.
