Previously RETRANS bits were cleared on the entry to FRTO. We postpone that into tcp_enter_frto_loss, which is really the place were the clearing should be done anyway. This allows simplification of the logic from a clearing loop to the head skb clearing only. Besides, the other changes made in the previous patches to tcp_use_frto made it impossible for the non-SACKed FRTO to be entered if other than the head has been rexmitted. With SACK-enhanced FRTO (and Appendix B), however, there can be a number retransmissions in flight when RTO expires (same thing could happen before this patchset also with non-SACK FRTO). To not introduce any jumpiness into the packet counting during FRTO, instead of clearing RETRANS bits from skbs during entry, do it later on.
