[TCP]: Adjust Reno SACK estimate in tcp_fragment



Since the introduction of TSO pcount a year ago, it has been possible
for tcp_fragment() to cause packets_out to decrease.  Prior to that,
tcp_retrans_try_collapse() was the only way for that to happen on the
retransmission path.

When this happens with Reno, it is possible for sasked_out to become
invalid because it is only an estimate and not tied to any particular
packet on the retransmission queue.

Therefore we need to adjust sacked_out as well as left_out in the Reno
case.  The following patch does exactly that.

This bug is pretty difficult to trigger in practice though since you
need a SACKless peer with a retransmission that occurs just as the
cached MTU value expires.
