tcp: eliminate negative reordering in tcp_clean_rtx_queue
tcp_ack() can call tcp_fragment() which may dededuct the
value tp->fackets_out when MSS changes. When prior_fackets
is larger than tp->fackets_out, tcp_clean_rtx_queue() can
invoke tcp_update_reordering() with negative values. This
results in absurd tp->reodering values higher than
sysctl_tcp_max_reordering.
Note that tcp_update_reordering indeeds sets tp->reordering
to min(sysctl_tcp_max_reordering, metric), but because
the comparison is signed, a negative metric always wins.
