Yuchung Cheng 98e36d449c tcp: check undo conditions before detecting losses 
Currently RACK would mark loss before the undo operations in TCP
loss recovery. This could incorrectly identify real losses as
spurious. For example a sender first experiences a delay spike and
then eventually some packets were lost due to buffer overrun.
In this case, the sender should perform fast recovery b/c not all
the packets were lost.

But the sender may first trigger a (spurious) RTO and reset
cwnd to 1. The following ACKs may used to mark real losses by
tcp_rack_mark_lost. Then in tcp_process_loss this ACK could trigger
F-RTO undo condition and unmark real losses and revert the cwnd
reduction. If there are no more ACKs coming back, eventually the
sender would timeout again instead of performing fast recovery.

The patch fixes this incorrect process by always performing
the undo checks before detecting losses.

Fixes: 4f41b1c58a ("tcp: use RACK to detect losses")
