[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Yuchung Cheng <ycheng@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 2909d874f34eae157aecab0af27c6dc4a1751f8f ]

Patch ed08495c3 "tcp: use RTT from SACK for RTO" has a bug that
it does not check if the ACK acknowledge new data before taking
the RTT sample from TCP timestamps. This patch adds the check
back as required by the RFC.
