dccp: Allow to distinguish original and retransmitted packets
This patch allows the sender to distinguish original and retransmitted packets,
which is in particular needed for the retransmission of DCCP-Requests:
* the first Request uses ISS (generated in net/dccp/ip*.c), and sets GSS = ISS;
* all retransmitted Requests use GSS' = GSS + 1, so that the n-th retransmitted
Request has sequence number ISS + n (mod 48).
To add generic support, the patch reorganises existing code so that:
* icsk_retransmits == 0 for the original packet and
* icsk_retransmits = n > 0 for the n-th retransmitted packet
at the time dccp_transmit_skb() is called, via dccp_retransmit_skb().
Thanks to Wei Yongjun for pointing this problem out.
Further changes:
----------------
* removed the `skb' argument from dccp_retransmit_skb(), since sk_send_head
is used for all retransmissions (the exception is client-Acks in PARTOPEN
state, but these do not use sk_send_head);
* since sk_send_head always contains the original skb (via dccp_entail()),
skb_cloned() never evaluated to true and thus pskb_copy() was never used.
