tcp: fix bogus RTT on special retransmission
RTT may be bogus with tall loss probe (TLP) when a packet
is retransmitted and latter (s)acked without TCPCB_SACKED_RETRANS flag.
For example, TLP calls __tcp_retransmit_skb() instead of
tcp_retransmit_skb(). The skb timestamps are updated but the sacked
flag is not marked with TCPCB_SACKED_RETRANS. As a result we'll
get bogus RTT in tcp_clean_rtx_queue() or in tcp_sacktag_one() on
spurious retransmission.
The fix is to apply the sticky flag TCP_EVER_RETRANS to enforce Karn's
check on RTT sampling. However this will disable F-RTO if timeout occurs
after TLP, by resetting undo_marker in tcp_enter_loss(). We relax this
check to only if any pending retransmists are still in-flight.
