Subject: [PATCH 2/7] [TCP]: Fix mark_head_lost to ignore R-bit when trying to mark L

This condition (plain R) can arise at least in recovery that
is triggered after tcp_undo_loss. There isn't any reason why
they should not be marked as lost, not marking makes in_flight
estimator to return too large values.
