Summary
This keeps the segments/ACK/FIN delivery order.

Before this patch, it was observed: if A sent FIN immediately after
an ACK, B would deliver FIN first to the TCP stack, then the ACK.
This out-of-order delivery causes one unnecessary ACK sent from B.

Obtained from:  gallatin, rrs

Should there be added:
