Subject[PATCH 2/2] 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.

Markus probably tested this as well though I didn't hear any reports back
yet.
