tcp: simplify tcp_mark_skb_lost
This patch consolidates and simplifes the loss marking logic used by a few loss detections (RACK, RFC6675, NewReno). Previously each detection uses a subset of several intertwined subroutines. This unncessary complexity has led to bugs (and fixes of bug fixes). tcp_mark_skb_lost now is the single one routine to mark a packet loss when a loss detection caller deems an skb ist lost: 1. rewind tp->retransmit_hint_skb if skb has lower sequence or all lost ones have been retransmitted. 2. book-keeping: adjust flags and counts depending on if skb was retransmitted or not.
