In a rare corner case the new logic for undo of SYNACK RTO could
result in triggering the warning in tcp_fastretrans_alert() that says:
        WARN_ON(tp->retrans_out != 0);

The warning looked like:

WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 1 at net/ipv4/tcp_input.c:2818 tcp_ack+0x13e0/0x3270

The sequence that tickles this bug is:
 - Fast Open server receives TFO SYN with data, sends SYNACK
 - (client receives SYNACK and sends ACK, but ACK is lost)
 - server app sends some data packets
 - (N of the first data packets are lost)
 - server receives client ACK that has a TS ECR matching first SYNACK,
   and also SACKs suggesting the first N data packets were lost
    - server performs TS undo of SYNACK RTO, then immediately
      enters recovery
    - buggy behavior then performed a *second* undo that caused
      the connection to be in CA_Open with retrans_out != 0

Basically, the incoming ACK packet with SACK blocks causes us to first
undo the cwnd reduction from the ...
