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

This reverts commit 6b68822e2d56d53d25f62c5ee447ee0d30da9b4c.

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.
