tcp: clear tp->retrans_stamp in tcp_rcv_fastopen_synack()

commit 9e046bb111 upstream.

Some applications were reporting ETIMEDOUT errors on apparently
good looking flows, according to packet dumps.

We were able to root cause the issue to an accidental setting
of tp->retrans_stamp in the following scenario:

- client sends TFO SYN with data.
- server has TFO disabled, ACKs only SYN but not payload.
- client receives SYNACK covering only SYN.
- tcp_ack() eats SYN and sets tp->retrans_stamp to 0.
- tcp_rcv_fastopen_synack() calls tcp_xmit_retransmit_queue()
  to retransmit TFO payload w/o SYN, sets tp->retrans_stamp to "now",
  but we are not in any loss recovery state.
- TFO payload is ACKed.
- we are not in any loss recovery state, and don't see any dupacks,
  so we don't get to any code path that clears tp->retrans_stamp.
- tp->retrans_stamp stays non-zero for the lifetime of the connection.
- after first RTO, tcp_clamp_rto_to_user_timeout() clamps second RTO
  to 1 jiffy due to bogus tp->retrans_stamp.
- on clamped RTO with non-zero icsk_retransmits, retransmits_timed_out()
  sets start_ts from tp->retrans_stamp from TFO payload retransmit
  hours/days ago, and computes bogus long elapsed time for loss recovery,
  and suffers ETIMEDOUT early.
