3.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Per Hurtig <per.hur...@kau.se>
[ Upstream commit bef1909ee3ed1ca39231b260a8d3b4544ecd0c8f ]
Fix to a problem observed when losing a FIN segment that does not
contain data. In such situations, TLP is unable to recover from
*any* tail loss and instead adds at least PTO ms to the
retransmission process, i.e., RTO = RTO + PTO.
