tcp: resalt the secret every 10 seconds

[ Upstream commit 4dfa9b438ee34caca4e6a4e5e961641807367f6f ]

In order to limit the ability for an observer to recognize the source
ports sequence used to contact a set of destinations, we should
periodically shuffle the secret. 10 seconds looks effective enough
without causing particular issues.
