tcp: tsq: relax tcp_small_queue_check() when rtx queue contains a single skb
In commit 75eefc6c59fd ("tcp: tsq: add a shortcut in tcp_small_queue_check()") we allowed to send an skb regardless of TSQ limits being hit if rtx queue was empty or had a single skb, in order to better fill the pipe when/if TX completions were slow. Then later, commit 75c119afe14f ("tcp: implement rb-tree based retransmit queue") accidentally removed the special case for one skb in rtx queue. Stefan Wahren reported a regression in single TCP flow throughput using a 100Mbit fec link, starting from commit 65466904b015 ("tcp: adjust TSO packet sizes based on min_rtt"). This last commit only made the regression more visible, because it locked the TCP flow on a particular behavior where TSQ prevented two skbs being pushed downstream, adding silences on the wire between each TSO packet. Many thanks to Stefan for his invaluable help !
