tcp: use SACKs and DSACKs that arrive on ACKs below snd_una
The bug: When the ACK field is below snd_una (which can happen when
ACKs are reordered), senders ignored DSACKs (preventing undo) and did
not call tcp_fastretrans_alert, so they did not increment
prr_delivered to reflect newly-SACKed sequence ranges, and did not
call tcp_xmit_retransmit_queue, thus passing up chances to send out
more retransmitted and new packets based on any newly-SACKed packets.
The change: When the ACK field is below snd_una (the "old_ack" goto
label), call tcp_fastretrans_alert to allow undo based on any
newly-arrived DSACKs and try to send out more packets based on
newly-SACKed packets.
Other patches in this series will provide other changes that are
necessary to fully fix this problem.
