Currently the retransmission stats are not incremented if the retransmit fails locally. But we always increment the other packet counters that track total packet/bytes sent. Awkwardly while we don't count these failed retransmits in RETRANSSEGS, we do count them in FAILEDRETRANS. If the qdisc is dropping many packets this could under-estimate TCP retransmission rate substantially from both SNMP or per-socket TCP_INFO stats. This patch changes this by always incrementing retransmission stats on retransmission attempts and failures. Another motivation is to properly track retransmists in SCM_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_STATS. Since SCM_TSTAMP_SCHED collection is triggered in tcp_transmit_skb(), If tp->total_retrans is incremented after the function, we'll always mis-count by the amount of the latest retransmission.
