tcp: call tcp_replace_ts_recent() from tcp_ack()

commit bd090dfc

 (tcp: tcp_replace_ts_recent() should not be called
from tcp_validate_incoming()) introduced a TS ecr bug in slow path
processing.

1 A > B P. 1:10001(10000) ack 1 <nop,nop,TS val 1001 ecr 200>
2 B < A . 1:1(0) ack 1 win 257 <sack 9001:10001,TS val 300 ecr 1001>
3 A > B . 1:1001(1000) ack 1 win 227 <nop,nop,TS val 1002 ecr 200>
4 A > B . 1001:2001(1000) ack 1 win 227 <nop,nop,TS val 1002 ecr 200>

(ecr 200 should be ecr 300 in packets 3 & 4)

Problem is tcp_ack() can trigger send of new packets (retransmits),
reflecting the prior TSval, instead of the TSval contained in the
currently processed incoming packet.

Fix this by calling tcp_replace_ts_recent() from tcp_ack() after the
checks, but before the actions.
