When a packet arrives that has already been considered lost as part of a
large gap the "lost timer" for this will be cancelled. If the remaining
packets of this large gap never arrives, there will be missing entries
in the queue and the loop function will keep waiting for these packets
to arrive and never push another packet, effectively stalling the
pipeline.

The proposed fix conciders parts of a large gap definitely lost (since
they are calculated from latency) and ignores the late arrivals.

In practice the issue is rare since large gaps are scheduled immediately,
and for the stall to happen the late arrival needs to be processed
before this times out.
