[PATCH net 05/14] netfilter: nft_synproxy: stop bypassing the priv->info snapshot

From: Runyu Xiao <redacted>
nft_synproxy_eval_v4() and nft_synproxy_eval_v6() already take a
whole-object READ_ONCE() snapshot of the shared priv->info state before
building the SYNACK reply, but nft_synproxy_tcp_options() still masks
opts->options with priv->info.options from the live shared object.
When a named synproxy object is updated concurrently with SYN traffic,
the eval path can then mix mss and timestamp handling from the local
snapshot with an options mask taken from a newer configuration, so one
SYNACK no longer reflects a coherent synproxy configuration.
Use info->options so nft_synproxy_tcp_options() stays on the same local
snapshot that the eval path already copied from priv->info.
