tcp: fix lost_cnt_hint miscounts
It is possible that lost_cnt_hint gets underflow in
tcp_clean_rtx_queue because the cumulative ACK can cover
the segment where lost_skb_hint points to only partially,
which means that the hint is not cleared, opposite to what
my (earlier) comment claimed.
Also I don't agree what I ended up writing about non-trivial
case there to be what I intented to say. It was not supposed
to happen that the hint won't get cleared and we underflow
in any scenario.
In general, this is quite hard to trigger in practice.
