This patch is to introduce last_rtx_chunks into sctp_transport to detect
if there's any packet retransmission/loss happened by checking against
asoc's rtx_data_chunks in sctp_transport_pl_send().
If there is, namely, transport->last_rtx_chunks != asoc->rtx_data_chunks,
the pmtu probe will be sent out. Otherwise, increment the pl.raise_count
and return when it's in Search Complete state.
With this patch, if in Search Complete state, which is a long period, it
doesn't need to keep probing the current pmtu unless there's data packet
loss. This will save quite some traffic.
v1->v2:
- add the missing Fixes tag.
