Subject: [net-next 1/3] tcp: avoid useless copying and collapsing of just one skb

On the starting point chosen, it could be possible that just one skb
remains in between the range provided, leading to copying and re-insertion
of rb node, which is useless with respect to the rcv buf measurement.
This is rather probable in ooo queue case, in which non-contiguous bloated
packets have been queued up.
