tcp: defer xmit timer reset in tcp_xmit_retransmit_queue()

Browse source 
As hinted in prior change ("tcp: refine tcp_pacing_delay()
for very low pacing rates"), it is probably best arming
the xmit timer only when all the packets have been scheduled,
rather than when the head of rtx queue has been re-sent.

This does matter for flows having extremely low pacing rates,
since their tp->tcp_wstamp_ns could be far in the future.

Note that the regular xmit path has a stronger limit
in tcp_small_queue_check(), meaning it is less likely to
go beyond the pacing horizon.
