Subject: [PATCH net-2.6.25] [TCP]: Create tcp_mark_head_lost_single for
 NewReno


Fixes NewReno breakage that got introduced because reno ended up
into RFC3517 counting branch in tcp_mark_head_lost after the
split space tweaks. The fack branch would have worked, however,
coming lost marker updates would eventually add this anyway.
