Subject: [PATCH net 4/5] tcp: prevent bogus undos when SACK is not enabled

A bogus undo may/will trigger when the loss recovery state is
kept until snd_una is above high_seq. If tcp_any_retrans_done
is zero, retrans_stamp is cleared in this transient state. On
the next ACK, tcp_try_undo_recovery again executes and
tcp_may_undo will always return true because tcp_packet_delayed
has this condition:
    return !tp->retrans_stamp || ...

Check for the false fast retransmit transient condition in
tcp_packet_delayed to avoid bogus undos. Since snd_una may have
advanced on this ACK but CA state still remains unchanged,
prior_snd_una needs to be passed instead of tp->snd_una.
