RFC0793 defined that in FIN-WAIT-2 state if the ACK bit is off drop
the segment and return[Page 72]. But this check is missing in function
tcp_timewait_state_process(). This cause the segment with FIN flag but
no ACK has two diffent action:

Case 1:
    Node A                      Node B
              <-------------    FIN,ACK
                                (enter FIN-WAIT-1)
    ACK       ------------->
                                (enter FIN-WAIT-2)
    FIN       ------------->    discard
                                (move sk to tw list)

Case 2:
    Node A                      Node B
              <-------------    FIN,ACK
                                (enter FIN-WAIT-1)
    ACK       ------------->
                                (enter FIN-WAIT-2)
                                (move sk to tw list)
    FIN       ------------->

              <-------------    ACK

This patch fixed the problem.
