</TASK>

The reproducer invokes shutdown() before entering the listener status.
After commit 94062790aedb ("tcp: defer shutdown(SEND_SHUTDOWN) for
TCP_SYN_RECV sockets"), the above causes the child to reach the accept
syscall in FIN_WAIT1 status.

Eric noted we can relax the existing assertion in __inet_accept()
