tcp: revert F-RTO extension to detect more spurious timeouts




[ Upstream commit fc68e171d376c322e6777a3d7ac2f0278b68b17f ]

This reverts commit 89fe18e4.

While the patch could detect more spurious timeouts, it could cause
poor TCP performance on broken middle-boxes that modifies TCP packets
(e.g. receive window, SACK options). Since the performance gain is
much smaller compared to the potential loss. The best solution is
to fully revert the change.
