Subject: [PATCH] tcp: properly update lost_cnt_hint during shifting

From: "Yan, Zheng" <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 28 Sep 2011 14:38:21 +0800

lost_skb_hint is used by tcp_mark_head_lost() to mark the first
unhandled skb. lost_cnt_hint is the number of sacked packets before
the lost_skb_hint. tcp_shifted_skb() shouldn't increase lost_cnt_hint
when shifting a sacked skb that is before the lost_skb_hint, because
packets in it are already counted.
