Subject: tcp: fix double-counted receiver RTT when leaving receiver fast path
From: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit aab2b4bf224ef8358d262f95b568b8ad0cecf0a0 ]
We should not update ts_recent and call tcp_rcv_rtt_measure_ts() both
before and after going to step5. That wastes CPU and double-counts the
receiver-side RTT sample.
