tcp: refactor tcp_retransmit_timer()

commit 0d580fbd2db084a5c96ee9c00492236a279d5e0f upstream.

It appears linux-4.14 stable needs a backport of commit
88f8598d ("tcp: exit if nothing to retransmit on RTO timeout")

Since tcp_rtx_queue_empty() is not in pre 4.15 kernels,
let's refactor tcp_retransmit_timer() to only use tcp_rtx_queue_head()

I will provide to stable teams the squashed patches.
