TCP RST mechanism is broken in TCP md5(RFC2385). When
connection is gone, md5 key is lost, sending RST without
md5 hash is deem to ignored by peer. This can be a problem
since RST help protocal like bgp fast recove from peer crash.

In most case, users of tcp md5, such as bgp and ldp, have listeners
on both sides. md5 keys for peers are saved in listening socket.
When passive side connection is gone, we can still get md5 key
from listening socket. When active side of connection is gone,
we can try to find listening socket through source port, and
then md5 key.
we are not loosing sercuriy here: packet is valified checked with
md5 hash. No RST is generated if md5 hash doesn't match or no md5
key can be found.

Yes. Eric is right.  I will have to fix refcount problem.
Will send out another patch later on.
