rxrpc: Fix detection of out of order acks
The rxrpc packet serial number cannot be safely used to compute out of
order ack packets for several reasons:
1. The allocation of serial numbers cannot be assumed to imply the order
by which acks are populated and transmitted. In some rxrpc
implementations, delayed acks and ping acks are transmitted
asynchronously to the receipt of data packets and so may be transmitted
out of order. As a result, they can race with idle acks.
2. Serial numbers are allocated by the rxrpc connection and not the call
and as such may wrap independently if multiple channels are in use.
In any case, what matters is whether the ack packet provides new
information relating to the bounds of the window (the firstPacket and
previousPacket in the ACK data).
Fix this by discarding packets that appear to wind back the window bounds
rather than on serial number procession.
