I think this BUG_ON in tcp_shifted_skb maybe be triggered if a GSO skb is 
sacked, but sack is faked, and not ack the whole mss length, only ack less
than mss length

Is it possible ?

I doubt it. Please provide a packetdrill test if you think otherwise.

I understand people can be worried about BUG_ON(), but they serve to
spot bugs when a patch breaks something horribly.
