tcp: revert a F-RTO extension due to broken middle-boxes
This patch series reverts a (non-standard) TCP F-RTO extension that aimed
to detect more spurious timeouts. Unfortunately it could result in poor
performance due to broken middle-boxes that modify TCP packets. E.g.

We believe the best and simplest solution is to just revert the change.
