Subject: [TCP]: fack_counts more fixes (the previous ones were incomplete)

Noticed later on that the things are still somewhat broken. Here's yet 
another fix to that same function. In addition, I'll do later on a patch 
to remove the __-version altogether.

[PATCH] [TCP]: fack_counts more fixes (the previous ones were incomplete)

1) Prev NULL check should also dereference

2) The loop reorganization did make things only slightly better,
   just changing the same not-updated problem to occur in
   another scenario. And I also noticed that in worst case it
   would be an infinite loop (could do that also before the
   change), but it required losses in the same window when TCP
   runs out new data. Now check really against the list heads
   rather than a valid skb which should still be processed.
