tcp: do not rearm RTO when future data are sacked
Patch ed08495c3 "tcp: use RTT from SACK for RTO" always re-arms RTO upon obtaining a RTT sample from newly sacked data. But technically RTO should only be re-armed when the data sent before the last (re)transmission of write queue head are (s)acked. Otherwise the RTO may continue to extend during loss recovery on data sent in the future. Note that RTTs from ACK or timestamps do not have this problem, as the RTT source must be from data sent before. The new RTO re-arm policy is 1) Always re-arm RTO if SND.UNA is advanced 2) Re-arm RTO if sack RTT is available, provided the sacked data was sent before the last time write_queue_head was sent.
