[TCP] FRTO: Use Disorder state during operation instead of Open
Retransmission counter assumptions are to be changed. Forcing reason to do this exist: Using sysctl in check would be racy as soon as FRTO starts to ignore some ACKs (doing that in the following patches). Userspace may disable it at any moment giving nice oops if timing is right. frto_counter would be inaccessible from userspace, but with SACK enhanced FRTO retrans_out can include other than head, and possibly leaving it non-zero after spurious RTO, boom again. Luckily, solution seems rather simple: never go directly to Open state but use Disorder instead. This does not really change much, since TCP could anyway change its state to Disorder during FRTO using path tcp_fastretrans_alert -> tcp_try_to_open (e.g., when a SACK block makes ACK dubious). Besides, Disorder seems to be the state where TCP should be if not recovering (in Recovery or Loss state) while having some retransmissions in-flight (see tcp_try_to_open), which is exactly what happens with FRTO.
