Assuming SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_ACK is on. When dup acks are received,
it could incorrectly think that a skb has already
been acked and queue a SCM_TSTAMP_ACK cmsg to the
sk->sk_error_queue.

In tcp_ack_tstamp(), it checks
'between(shinfo->tskey, prior_snd_una, tcp_sk(sk)->snd_una - 1)'.
If prior_snd_una == tcp_sk(sk)->snd_una like the following packetdrill
script, between() returns true but the tskey is actually not acked.
e.g. try between(3, 2, 1).

The fix is to replace between() with one before() and one !before().
By doing this, the -1 offset on the tcp_sk(sk)->snd_una can also be
removed.

A packetdrill script is used to reproduce the dup ack scenario.
Due to the lacking cmsg support in packetdrill (may be I
cannot find it),  a BPF prog is used to kprobe to
sock_queue_err_skb() and print out the value of
serr->ee.ee_data.

Both the packetdrill and the bcc BPF script is attached at the end of
this commit message.
