tcp: don't clear lost_skb_hint when not necessary

Most importantly avoid doing it with cumulative ACK. However,
since we have lost_cnt_hint in the picture as well needing
adjustments, it's not as trivial as dealing with
retransmit_skb_hint (and cannot be done in the all place we
could trivially leave retransmit_skb_hint untouched).

With the previous patch, this should mostly remove O(n^2)
behavior while cumulative ACKs start flowing once rexmit
after a lossy round-trip made it through.
