Subject: [PATCH 5.10 142/142] tcp: fix TLP timer not set when CA_STATE changes from DISORDER to OPEN

commit 62d9f1a6945ba69c125e548e72a36d203b30596e upstream.

Upon receiving a cumulative ACK that changes the congestion state from
Disorder to Open, the TLP timer is not set. If the sender is app-limited,
it can only wait for the RTO timer to expire and retransmit.

The reason for this is that the TLP timer is set before the congestion
state changes in tcp_ack(), so we delay the time point of calling
tcp_set_xmit_timer() until after tcp_fastretrans_alert() returns and
remove the FLAG_SET_XMIT_TIMER from ack_flag when the RACK reorder timer
is set.

This commit has two additional benefits:
1) Make sure to reset RTO according to RFC6298 when receiving ACK, to
avoid spurious RTO caused by RTO timer early expires.
2) Reduce the xmit timer reschedule once per ACK when the RACK reorder
timer is set.

Fixes: df92c8394e6e ("tcp: fix xmit timer to only be reset if data ACKed/SACKed")
