tcp: fix F-RTO may not work correctly when receiving DSACK

Currently DSACK is regarded as a dupack, which may cause
F-RTO to incorrectly enter "loss was real" when receiving
DSACK.

Packetdrill to demonstrate:

// Enable F-RTO and TLP
    0 `sysctl -q net.ipv4.tcp_frto=2`
    0 `sysctl -q net.ipv4.tcp_early_retrans=3`
    0 `sysctl -q net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control=cubic`

// Establish a connection
   +0 socket(..., SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP) = 3
   +0 setsockopt(3, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, [1], 4) = 0
   +0 bind(3, ..., ...) = 0
   +0 listen(3, 1) = 0

// RTT 10ms, RTO 210ms
  +.1 < S 0:0(0) win 32792 <mss 1000,sackOK,nop,nop,nop,wscale 7>
   +0 > S. 0:0(0) ack 1 <...>
 +.01 < . 1:1(0) ack 1 win 257
   +0 accept(3, ..., ...) = 4

// Send 2 data segments
   +0 write(4, ..., 2000) = 2000
   +0 > P. 1:2001(2000) ack 1

// TLP
+.022 > P. 1001:2001(1000) ack 1

// Continue to send 8 data segments
   +0 write(4, ..., 10000) = 10000
   +0 > P. 2001:10001(8000) ack 1

// RTO
+.188 > . 1:1001(1000) ack 1
