tcp: fix FRTO undo on cumulative ACK of SACKed range
[ Upstream commit 666b8051 ] On processing cumulative ACKs, the FRTO code was not checking the SACKed bit, meaning that there could be a spurious FRTO undo on a cumulative ACK of a previously SACKed skb. The FRTO code should only consider a cumulative ACK to indicate that an original/unretransmitted skb is newly ACKed if the skb was not yet SACKed. The effect of the spurious FRTO undo would typically be to make the connection think that all previously-sent packets were in flight when they really weren't, leading to a stall and an RTO.
