Summary

When a RTO happens during an on-going SACK loss recovery
episode, the internal summary accounting is not cleared.
This may lead to subsequent errors in calculations
(e.g. IsLost()).

Better keep the fields in order like in the struct sackhint definition.

tp->sackhint.delivered_data = 0;
tp->sackhint.sacked_bytes = 0;
tp->sackhint.hole_bytes = 0;
tp->sackhint.lost_bytes = 0;

This change fixes the panic I saw.

I trust gcc to do simple reorders like this for more effective data access. Already committed to fix an ongoing panic.
