This series contains a set of fixes for bugs exposed when
we ran the following in a loop between a test machine pair:

 while (1); do
   # modprobe rds-tcp on test nodes
   # run rds-stress in bi-dir mode between test machine pair 
   # modprobe -r rds-tcp on test nodes
 done

rds-stress in bi-dir mode will cause both nodes to initiate
RDS-TCP connections at almost the same instant, exposing the 
bugs fixed in this series. 

Without the fixes, rds-stress reports sporadic packet drops,
and packets arriving out of sequence. After the fixes,we have
been able to run the  test overnight, without any issues.

Each patch has a detailed description of the root-cause fixed
by the patch.

  RDS: TCP: set RDS_FLAG_RETRANSMITTED in cp_retrans list
  RDS: TCP: Track peer's connection generation number
  RDS: TCP: Force every connection to be initiated by numerically
    smaller IP address
