Subject: [RFC 2/2] Account acked_out in sack, if the sack is invalid

In case of a sequence-number rewriting firewall (e.g., a Cisco Firewall:
https://supportforums.cisco.com/docs/DOC-12668#TCP_Sequence_Number_Randomization_and_SACK)
the SACK-blocks are not rewritten.
As we receive these ACK-packets, the sackblock is marked as invalid in
tcp_is_sackblock_valid(), and sacked_out will not be incremented.
Thus, fast-retransmit will not trigger and the stack will timeout after an
RTO. This completly kills the performance across this kind of firewalls.

This patch allows acked_out to increase, in case a sackblog is marked as
invalid. Further, it considers acked_out in the accounting when SACK has
been enabled on the connection.

Tested-by: Benjamin Hesmans <benjamin.hesmans@...ouvain.be>
Signed-off-by: Christoph Paasch <christoph.paasch@...ouvain.be>
