To prevent timing attacks, MACs need to be compared in constant
time. Use the appropriate helper function for this.
Fixes: cfb6eeb4c860 ("[TCP]: MD5 Signature Option (RFC2385) support.")

RFC2385 specifies a method of giving MD5 protection to TCP sessions.
Its main (only?) use is to protect BGP sessions between core routers
on the Internet.
