tcp: always ACK immediately on hole repairs
RFC 5681 sec 4.2:
To provide feedback to senders recovering from losses, the receiver
SHOULD send an immediate ACK when it receives a data segment that
fills in all or part of a gap in the sequence space.
When a gap is partially filled, __tcp_ack_snd_check already checks
the out-of-order queue and correctly send an immediate ACK. However
when a gap is fully filled, the previous implementation only resets
pingpong mode which does not guarantee an immediate ACK because the
quick ACK counter may be zero. This patch addresses this issue by
marking the one-time immediate ACK flag instead.
