tcp: Make shifting not clear the hints

The earlier version was just very basic one which is "playing
safe" by always clearing the hints. However, clearing of a hint
is extremely costly operation with large windows, so it must be
avoided at all cost whenever possible, there is a way with
shifting too achieve not-clearing.
