tcp: send loss probe after 1s if no RTT available

This patch makes TLP to use 1 sec timer by default when RTT is
not available due to SYN/ACK retransmission or SYN cookies.

Prior to this change, the lack of RTT prevents TLP so the first
data packets sent can only be recovered by fast recovery or RTO.
If the fast recovery fails to trigger the RTO is 3 second when
SYN/ACK is retransmitted. With this patch we can trigger fast
recovery in 1sec instead.

Note that we need to check Fast Open more properly. A Fast Open
connection could be (accepted then) closed before it receives
the final ACK of 3WHS so the state is FIN_WAIT_1. Without the
new check, TLP will retransmit FIN instead of SYN/ACK.
