tcp: miscounts due to tcp_fragment pcount reset
It seems that trivial reset of pcount to one was not sufficient
in tcp_retransmit_skb. Multiple counters experience a positive
miscount when skb's pcount gets lowered without the necessary
adjustments (depending on skb's sacked bits which exactly), at
worst a packets_out miscount can crash at RTO if the write queue
is empty!
Triggering this requires mss change, so bidir tcp or mtu probe or
like.
