tcp: ensure to use the most recently sent skb when filling the rate s…

…ample

[ Upstream commit b253a06 ]

If an ACK (s)acks multiple skbs, we favor the information
from the most recently sent skb by choosing the skb with
the highest prior_delivered count. But in the interval
between receiving ACKs, we send multiple skbs with the same
prior_delivered, because the tp->delivered only changes
when we receive an ACK.

We used RACK's solution, copying tcp_rack_sent_after() as
tcp_skb_sent_after() helper to determine "which packet was
sent last?". Later, we will use tcp_skb_sent_after() instead
in RACK.
