tcp: move seq_to_tap update to when frame is queued

Browse Source 
commit a469fc393f ("tcp, tap: Don't increase tap-side sequence counter for dropped frames")
delayed update of conn->seq_to_tap until the moment the corresponding
frame has been successfully pushed out. This has the advantage that we
immediately can make a new attempt to transmit a frame after a failed
trasnmit, rather than waiting for the peer to later discover a gap and
trigger the fast retransmit mechanism to solve the problem.

This approach has turned out to cause a problem with spurious sequence
number updates during peer-initiated retransmits, and we have realized
it may not be the best way to solve the above issue.

We now restore the previous method, by updating the said field at the
moment a frame is added to the outqueue. To retain the advantage of
having a quick re-attempt based on local failure detection, we now scan
through the part of the outqueue that had do be dropped, and restore the
sequence counter for each affected connection to the most appropriate
value.
