xin.guo 4157321b0a tcp: fix tcp_ofo_queue() to avoid including too much DUP SACK range
[ Upstream commit a041f70e57 ]

If the new coming segment covers more than one skbs in the ofo queue,
and which seq is equal to rcv_nxt, then the sequence range
that is duplicated will be sent as DUP SACK, the detail as below,
in step6, the {501,2001} range is clearly including too much
DUP SACK range, in violation of RFC 2883 rules.

1. client > server: Flags [.], seq 501:1001, ack 1325288529, win 20000, length 500
2. server > client: Flags [.], ack 1, [nop,nop,sack 1 {501:1001}], length 0
3. client > server: Flags [.], seq 1501:2001, ack 1325288529, win 20000, length 500
4. server > client: Flags [.], ack 1, [nop,nop,sack 2 {1501:2001} {501:1001}], length 0
5. client > server: Flags [.], seq 1:2001, ack 1325288529, win 20000, length 2000
6. server > client: Flags [.], ack 2001, [nop,nop,sack 1 {501:2001}], length 0

After this fix, the final ACK is as below:

6. server > client: Flags [.], ack 2001, options [nop,nop,sack 1 {501:1001}], length 0

[edumazet] added a new packetdrill test in the following patch.
