tcp: Change txhash on every SYN and RTO retransmit
The current code changes txhash (flowlables) on every retransmitted
SYN/ACK, but only after the 2nd retransmitted SYN and only after
tcp_retries1 RTO retransmits.
With this patch:
1) txhash is changed with every SYN retransmits
2) txhash is changed with every RTO.
The result is that we can start re-routing around failed (or very
congested paths) as soon as possible. Otherwise application health
checks may fail and the connection may be terminated before we start
to change txhash.
v4: Removed sysctl, txhash is changed for all RTOs
v3: Removed text saying default value of sysctl is 0 (it is 100)
v2: Added sysctl documentation and cleaned code
