This patch is a fix for a bug triggering newly_acked_sacked < 0
in tcp_ack(.).
The bug is triggered by sacked_out decreasing relative to prior_sacked,
but packets_out remaining the same as pior_packets. This is because the
snapshot of prior_packets is taken after tcp_sacktag_write_queue() while
prior_sacked is captured before tcp_sacktag_write_queue(). The problem
is: tcp_sacktag_write_queue (tcp_match_skb_to_sack() -> tcp_fragment)
adjusts the pcount for packets_out and sacked_out (MSS change or other
reason). As a result, this delta in pcount is reflected in
(prior_sacked - sacked_out) but not in (prior_packets - packets_out).
This patch does the following:
1) initializes prior_packets at the start of tcp_ack() so as to
capture the delta in packets_out created by tcp_fragment.
2) introduces a new "previous_packets_out" variable that snapshots
packets_out right before tcp_clean_rtx_queue, so pkts_acked can be
correctly computed as before.
3) Computes pkts_acked using previous_packets_out, and computes
newly_acked_sacked using prior_packets.
