rxrpc: Simplify ACK handling
Now that general ACK transmission is done from the same thread as incoming
DATA packet wrangling, there's no possibility that the SACK table will be
being updated by the latter whilst the former is trying to copy it to an
ACK.
This means that we can safely rotate the SACK table whilst updating it
without having to take a lock, rather than keeping all the bits inside it
in fixed place and copying and then rotating it in the transmitter.
Therefore, simplify SACK handing by keeping track of starting point in the
ring and rotate slots down as we consume them.
