tcp: update congestion state first before raising cwnd
The congestion state and cwnd can be updated in the wrong order. For example, upon receiving a dubious ACK, we incorrectly raise the cwnd first (tcp_may_raise_cwnd()/tcp_cong_avoid()) because the state is still Open, then enter recovery state to reduce cwnd. For another example, if the ACK indicates spurious timeout or retransmits, we first revert the cwnd reduction and congestion state back to Open state. But we don't raise the cwnd even though the ACK does not indicate any congestion. To fix this problem we should first call tcp_fastretrans_alert() to process the dubious ACK and update the congestion state, then call tcp_may_raise_cwnd() that raises cwnd based on the current state.
