tcp: enable xmit timer fix by having TLP use time when RTO should fire

Have tcp_schedule_loss_probe() base the TLP scheduling decision based
on when the RTO *should* fire. This is to enable the upcoming xmit
timer fix in this series, where tcp_schedule_loss_probe() cannot
assume that the last timer installed was an RTO timer (because we are
no longer doing the "rearm RTO, rearm RTO, rearm TLP" dance on every
ACK). So tcp_schedule_loss_probe() must independently figure out when
an RTO would want to fire.

In the new TLP implementation following in this series, we cannot
assume that icsk_timeout was set based on an RTO; after processing a
cumulative ACK the icsk_timeout we see can be from a previous TLP or
RTO. So we need to independently recalculate the RTO time (instead of
reading it out of icsk_timeout). Removing this dependency on the
nature of icsk_timeout makes things a little easier to reason about
anyway.

Note that the old and new code should be equivalent, since they are
both saying: "if the RTO is in the future, but at an earlier time than
the normal TLP time, then set the TLP timer to fire when the RTO would
have fired".
