If lwIP encounters a half-open connection (e.g. due to a restarted
application reusing the same port numbers) it will correctly send a
RST but will not resend the SYN until one retransmission timeout later
(approximately three seconds). This can increase the time taken by
lpxelinux.0 to fetch its configuration file from a few milliseconds to
around 30 seconds.
Fix by immediately retransmitting the SYN whenever a half-open
connection is detected.
