Subject: [ 008/104] tcp: fix double-counted receiver RTT when leaving  receiver fast path

3.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@...gle.com>

[ Upstream commit aab2b4bf224ef8358d262f95b568b8ad0cecf0a0 ]

We should not update ts_recent and call tcp_rcv_rtt_measure_ts() both
before and after going to step5. That wastes CPU and double-counts the
receiver-side RTT sample.
