On receiving a packet the state index points to the rstate which must be
used to fill up IP and TCP headers. But if the state index points to a
rstate which is unitialized, i.e. filled with zeros, watch-dog bites.
It gets stuck in an infinite loop inside ip_fast_csum trying to compute
the ip checsum of a header with length zero.

Adding a variable to indicate if the current rstate is initialized. If
such a packet arrives, move to toss state.
