netfilter: SYNPROXY: let unrelated packets continue

netoptimizer · ummakynes · commit 7cc9eb6ef78d · 2013-09-04T11:44:23.000+02:00
Packets reaching SYNPROXY were default dropped, as they were most
likely invalid (given the recommended state matching).  This
patch, changes SYNPROXY target to let packets, not consumed,
continue being processed by the stack.

This will be more in line other target modules. As it will allow
more flexible configurations of handling, logging or matching on
packets in INVALID states.
