2.6.33-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Lennart Schulte <lennart.schulte(a)nets.rwth-aachen.de>

[ Upstream commit 6830c25b7d08fbbd922959425193791bc42079f2 ]

A packet is marked as lost in case packets == 0, although nothing should be done.
This results in a too early retransmitted packet during recovery in some cases.
This small patch fixes this issue by returning immediately.
