netem: markov loss model transition fix
The transition from markov state "3 => lost packets within a burst period" to "1 => successfully transmitted packets within a gap period" has no *additional* loss event. The loss already happen for transition from 1 -> 3, this additional loss will make things go wild. E.g. transition probabilities: p13: 10% p31: 100% Expected: Ploss = p13 / (p13 + p31) Ploss = ~9.09% ... but it isn't. Even worse: we get a double loss - each time. So simple don't return true to indicate loss, rather break and return false.
