Subject: [PATCHv2 net-2.6 1/4] [TCP]: Restore 2.6.24 mark_head_lost behavior for newreno/fack

The fast retransmission can be forced locally to the rfc3517
branch in tcp_update_scoreboard instead of making such fragile
constructs deeper in tcp_mark_head_lost.

This is necessary for the next patch which must not have
loopholes for cnt > packets check. As one can notice,
readability got some improvements too because of this :-).
