Subject: [PATCH] Bluetooth: hci_h5: Complements reliable packet processing logic.

As shown in the schematic diagram below.There may be a critical
scenario in the current code. If the device does not receive an
pure ack sent by the host due to insufficient receive buffer or
other reasons and triggers a retransmission, the host will always
be in an 'out-of-order' state.The state machine will get stuck.

       host                 device
     SEQ3,ACK4 --------->
               <--------- SEQ4,ACK4
     pure ACK  ---------> (not received)
(out-of-order) <--------- SEQ4,ACK4(retransmission)
		........
(out-of-order) <--------- SEQ4,ACK4(retransmission)

According to the description in the core specification: "whenever
a reliable packet is received, an acknowledgment shall be generated."
we should set H5_TX_ACK_REQ bit to trigger retransmission of pure ack
packet when "out-of-order" occurs.
