Subject: [PATCH 2/3] dccp: fix bug in updating the GSR

From: Samuel Jero <sj323707@...o.edu>

Currently dccp_check_seqno allows any valid packet to update the Greatest
Sequence Number Received, even if that packet's sequence number is less than
the current GSR. This patch adds a check to make sure that the new packet's
sequence number is greater than GSR.
