[ Upstream commit 30c6f0bf9579debce27e45fac34fdc97e46acacc ]
In this patch, we mainly try to handle sending a compressed ack
correctly if it's deferred.
Here are more details in the old logic:
When sack compression is triggered in the tcp_compressed_ack_kick(),
if the sock is owned by user, it will set TCP_DELACK_TIMER_DEFERRED
and then defer to the release cb phrase. Later once user releases
the sock, tcp_delack_timer_handler() should send a ack as expected,
which, however, cannot happen due to lack of ICSK_ACK_TIMER flag.
Therefore, the receiver would not sent an ack until the sender's
retransmission timeout. It definitely increases unnecessary latency.
Fixes: 5d9f4262b7 ("tcp: add SACK compression")
