tcp: annotate data-race around challenge_timestamp
[ Upstream commit 8c70521238b7863c2af607e20bcba20f974c969b ]
challenge_timestamp can be read an written by concurrent threads.
This was expected, but we need to annotate the race to avoid potential issues.
Following patch moves challenge_timestamp and challenge_count
to per-netns storage to provide better isolation.
