Ilpo Järvinen f785a8e28b [TCP]: Fix lost_retrans loop vs fastpath problems
Detection implemented with lost_retrans must work also when
fastpath is taken, yet most of the queue is skipped including
(very likely) those retransmitted skb's we're interested in.
This problem appeared when the hints got added, which removed
a need to always walk over the whole write queue head.
Therefore decicion for the lost_retrans worker loop entry must
be separated from the sacktag processing more than it was
necessary before.

It turns out to be problematic to optimize the worker loop
very heavily because ack_seqs of skb may have a number of
discontinuity points. Maybe similar approach as currently is
implemented could be attempted but that's becoming more and
more complex because the trend is towards less skb walking
in sacktag marker. Trying a simple work until all rexmitted
skbs heve been processed approach.

Maybe after(highest_sack_end_seq, tp->high_seq) checking is not
sufficiently accurate and causes entry too often in no-work-to-do
cases. Since that's not known, I've separated solution to that
from this patch.

Noticed because of report against a related problem from TAKANO
Ryousei <takano@axe-inc.co.jp>. He also provided a patch to
that part of the problem. This patch includes solution to it
(though this patch has to use somewhat different placement).
TAKANO's description and patch is available here:

  http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=119149311913288&w=2

...In short, TAKANO's problem is that end_seq the loop is using
not necessarily the largest SACK block's end_seq because the
current ACK may still have higher SACK blocks which are later
by the loop.
