[TCP] vegas: Fix a bug in disabling slow start by gamma parameter. 

TCP Vegas implementation has a bug in the process of disabling
slow-start with gamma parameter. The bug may lead to extreme
unfairness in the presence of early packet loss. See details in:
http://www.cs.caltech.edu/~weixl/technical/ns2linux/known_linux/index.html#vegas

Switch the order of "if (tp->snd_cwnd <= tp->snd_ssthresh)" statement
and "if (diff > gamma)" statement to eliminate the problem.
