Note: fw2 := FIN_WAIT_2

Starting the 2MSL timer when fw2 state is entered is also breaking the
standard and a (useful) hack. ;)

Having a sysctlable fw2 timeout like other OSes would be nice though.
Currently you have to tweak net.inet.tcp.keepintvl because this
totally unrelated parameter is re-used (abused) for fw2 timeouts.
I'd like to see a net.inet.tcp.finwait2tmout knob. (A proposed patch
for this can be found in this mailing list's archive.)
