Subject: [PATCH net-next] sctp: fix identification of new acks for SFR-CACC

It's currently written as:

if (!tchunk->tsn_gap_acked) {   [1]
	tchunk->tsn_gap_acked = 1;
	...
}

if (TSN_lte(tsn, sack_ctsn)) {
	if (!tchunk->tsn_gap_acked) {
		/* SFR-CACC processing */
		...
	}
}

Which causes the SFR-CACC processing on ack reception to never process,
as tchunk->tsn_gap_acked is always true by then. Block [1] was
moved to that position by the commit marked below.

This patch fixes it by doing SFR-CACC processing earlier, before
tsn_gap_acked is set to true.

Fixes: 31b02e154940 ("sctp: Failover transmitted list on transport delete")

Even though this is a -stable candidate, please apply it to net-next
to avoid conflicts with subsequent patches in my queue. Thanks.
