[TCP]: Catch skb with S+L bugs earlier
SACKED_ACKED and LOST are mutually exclusive with SACK, thus having their sum larger than packets_out is bug with SACK. Eventually these bugs trigger traps in the tcp_clean_rtx_queue with SACK but it's much more informative to do this here. Non-SACK TCP, however, could get more than packets_out duplicate ACKs which each increment sacked_out, so it makes sense to do this kind of limitting for non-SACK TCP but not for SACK enabled one. Perhaps the author had the opposite in mind but did the logic accidently wrong way around? Anyway, the sacked_out incrementer code for non-SACK already deals this issue before calling sync_left_out so this trapping can be done unconditionally.
