[PATCH] tcp: ack when we get an OOO/lost packet

[Josef Bacik]

While adding tcp window scaling support I was finding that I'd get some packet
loss or reordering when transferring from large distances and grub would just
timeout.  This is because we weren't ack'ing when we got our OOO packet, so the
sender didn't know it needed to retransmit anything, so eventually it would fill
the window and stop transmitting, and we'd time out.  Fix this by ACK'ing when
we don't find our next sequence numbered packet.  With this fix I no longer time
out.  Thanks,
