    tcp: improve consistency of SYN-cache handling
    
    Originally, a SYN-cache entry was always allocated and later freed,
    when not needed anymore. Then the allocation was avoided, when no
    SYN-cache entry was needed, and a copy on the stack was used.
    But the logic regarding freeing was not updated.
    This patch doesn't re-check conditions (which may have changed) when
    deciding to insert or free the entry, but uses the result of
    the earlier check.
    This simplifies the code and improves also consistency.
