Per RFC4898, they count segments sent/received
containing a positive length data segment (that includes
retransmission segments carrying data). Unlike
tcpi_segs_out/in, tcpi_data_segs_out/in excludes segments
carrying no data (e.g. pure ack).
The patch also updates the segs_in in tcp_fastopen_add_skb()
so that segs_in >= data_segs_in property is kept.
Together with retransmission data, tcpi_data_segs_out
gives a better signal on the rxmit rate.
v6: Rebase on the latest net-next
v5: Eric pointed out that checking skb->len is still needed in
tcp_fastopen_add_skb() because skb can carry a FIN without data.
Hence, instead of open coding segs_in and data_segs_in, tcp_segs_in()
helper is used. Comment is added to the fastopen case to explain why
segs_in has to be reset and tcp_segs_in() has to be called before
__skb_pull().
v4: Add comment to the changes in tcp_fastopen_add_skb()
and also add remark on this case in the commit message.
v3: Add const modifier to the skb parameter in tcp_segs_in()
v2: Rework based on recent fix by Eric:
commit a9d99ce28e ("tcp: fix tcpi_segs_in after connection establishment")
