tcp: revert F-RTO middle-box workaround

Browse Source 
This reverts commit cc663f4d4c. While fixing
some broken middle-boxes that modifies receive window fields, it does not
address middle-boxes that strip off SACK options. The best solution is
to fully revert this patch and the root F-RTO enhancement.

Fixes: cc663f4d4c ("tcp: restrict F-RTO to work-around broken middle-boxes")

* In theory F-RTO can be used repeatedly during loss recovery.

* timeouts and stop-and-go behavior.

* retransmitted skbs are permanently tagged with TCPCB_EVER_RETRANS

* on PTMU discovery to avoid sending new data.
