1) Skip condition used to be wrong way around which made SACK
processing very broken, missed many blocks because of that.

2) Use highest_sack advancement only if some skbs are already
sacked because otherwise tcp_write_queue_next may move things
too far (occurs mainly with GSO). The other similar advancement
is not problem because highest_sack was previosly put to point
a sacked skb.

These problems were located because of problem report from Matt
Mathis <mathis@psc.edu>.
