Subject: [PATCH] sctp: Restore 'resent' bit to avoid retransmitted chunks for RTT measurements

From: Signed-off-by: Xufeng Zhang <xufeng.zhang@...driver.com>

Currently retransmitted DATA chunks could also be used for
RTT measurements since there are no flag to identify whether
the transmitted DATA chunk is a new one or a retransmitted one.
This problem is introduced by commit ae19c5486 ("sctp: remove
'resent' bit from the chunk") which inappropriately removed the
'resent' bit completely, instead of doing this, we should set 
the resent bit only for the retransmitted DATA chunks.
