[TCP]: Adjust Reno SACK estimate in tcp_fragment
Since the introduction of TSO pcount a year ago, it has been possible for tcp_fragment() to cause packets_out to decrease. Prior to that, tcp_retrans_try_collapse() was the only way for that to happen on the retransmission path. When this happens with Reno, it is possible for sasked_out to become invalid because it is only an estimate and not tied to any particular packet on the retransmission queue. Therefore we need to adjust sacked_out as well as left_out in the Reno case. The following patch does exactly that. This bug is pretty difficult to trigger in practice though since you need a SACKless peer with a retransmission that occurs just as the cached MTU value expires.
