------------------
From: Ilpo Järvinen <ilpo.jarvinen@helsinki.fi>

changeset 48611c47d09023d9356e78550d1cadb8d61da9c8 in mainline.

When only GSO skb was partially ACKed, no hints are reset,
therefore fastpath_cnt_hint must be tweaked too or else it can
corrupt fackets_out. The corruption to occur, one must have
non-trivial ACK/SACK sequence, so this bug is not very often
that harmful. There's a fackets_out state reset in TCP because
fackets_out is known to be inaccurate and that fixes the issue
eventually anyway.

In case there was also at least one skb that got fully ACKed,
the fastpath_skb_hint is set to NULL which causes a recount for
fastpath_cnt_hint (the old value won't be accessed anymore),
thus it can safely be decremented without additional checking.
