Fixes a long-standing bug which makes NewReno recovery crippled.
With GSO the whole head skb was marked as LOST which is in
violation of NewReno procedure that only wants to mark one packet
and ended up breaking our TCP code by causing counter overflow
because our code was built on top of assumption about valid
NewReno procedure. This manifested as triggering a WARN_ON for
the overflow in a number of places.
It seems relatively safe alternative to just do nothing if
tcp_fragment fails due to oom because another duplicate ACK is
likely to be received soon and the fragmentation will be retried.
Special thanks goes to Soeren Sonnenburg <kernel@nn7.de> who was
lucky enough to be able to reproduce this so that the warning
for the overflow was hit. It's not as easy task as it seems even
if this bug happens quite often because the amount of outstanding
data is pretty significant for the mismarkings to lead to an
overflow.
Because it's very late in 2.6.25-rc cycle (if this even makes in
time), I didn't want to touch anything with SACK enabled here.
Fragmenting might be useful for it as well but it's more or less
a policy decision rather than mandatory fix. Thus there's no need
to rush and we can postpone considering tcp_fragment with SACK
for 2.6.26.
In 2.6.24 and earlier, this very same bug existed but the effect
is slightly different because of a small changes in the if
conditions that fit to the patch's context. With them nothing
got lost marker and thus no retransmissions happened.

The fast retransmission can be forced locally to the rfc3517
branch in tcp_update_scoreboard instead of making such fragile
constructs deeper in tcp_mark_head_lost.
This is necessary for the next patch which must not have
loopholes for cnt > packets check. As one can notice,
readability got some improvements too because of this :-).

Anycast DST entries allocated inside ipv6_dev_ac_inc are leaked when
network device is stopped without removing IPv6 addresses from it. The
bug has been observed in the reality on 2.6.18-rhel5 kernel.
In the above case addrconf_ifdown marks all entries as obsolete and
ip6_del_rt called from __ipv6_dev_ac_dec returns ENOENT. The
referrence is not dropped.
The fix is simple. DST entry should not keep referrence when stored in
the FIB6 tree.

The ICMP relookup path is only meant to modify behaviour when
appropriate IPsec policies are in place and marked as requiring
relookups. It is certainly not meant to modify behaviour when
IPsec policies don't exist at all.
However, due to an oversight on the error paths existing behaviour
may in fact change should one of the relookup steps fail.
This patch corrects this by redirecting all errors on relookup
failures to the previous code path. That is, if the initial
xfrm_lookup let the packet pass, we will stand by that decision
should the relookup fail due to an error.
This should be safe from a security point-of-view because compliant
systems must install a default deny policy so the packet would'nt
have passed in that case.

rose_release() doesn't release sockets properly, e.g. it skips
sock_orphan(), so OOPSes are triggered in sock_def_write_space(),
which was observed especially while ROSE skbs were kfreed from
ax25_frames_acked(). There is also sock_hold() and lock_sock() added -
similarly to ax25_release(). Thanks to Bernard Pidoux for substantial
help in debugging this problem.
