Richard Scheffenegger e68cde59c3 DCTCP: update alpha only once after loss recovery.
In mixed ECN marking and loss scenarios it was found, that
the alpha value of DCTCP is updated two times. The second
update happens with freshly initialized counters indicating
to ECN loss. Overall this leads to alpha not adjusting as
quickly as expected to ECN markings, and therefore lead to
excessive loss.
