tcp: avoid bogus gcc-7 array-bounds warning

Browse Source 
When using CONFIG_UBSAN_SANITIZE_ALL, the TCP code produces a
false-positive warning:

net/ipv4/tcp_output.c: In function 'tcp_connect':
net/ipv4/tcp_output.c:2207:40: error: array subscript is below array bounds [-Werror=array-bounds]
   tp->chrono_stat[tp->chrono_type - 1] += now - tp->chrono_start;
                                        ^~
net/ipv4/tcp_output.c:2207:40: error: array subscript is below array bounds [-Werror=array-bounds]
   tp->chrono_stat[tp->chrono_type - 1] += now - tp->chrono_start;
   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have opened a gcc bug for this, but distros have already shipped
compilers with this problem, and it's not clear yet whether there is
a way for gcc to avoid the warning. As the problem is related to the
bitfield access, this introduces a temporary variable to store the old
enum value.

I did not notice this warning earlier, since UBSAN is disabled when
building with COMPILE_TEST, and that was always turned on in both
allmodconfig and randconfig tests.
