In commit 75eefc6c ("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 75c119af ("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 65466904 ("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 !
