Current code doesn't check if tcp sequence number is starting from (/after)

1st record's end sequnce number. This problem will always be a possibility
in re-transmit case. If a record which belongs to a requested seq number is
already deleted, tls_get_record will start looking into list and as per the
check it will look if seq number is before the end seq of 1st record, which
will always be true and will return 1st record always, it should in fact
return NULL. 
I think I see your point, do you observe this problem in practice 
or did you find this through code review?

Is it not more appropriate to use between() in the actual comparison
below? I feel like with this patch we can get false negatives.
