[PATCH] [TCP]: Fix TSO deferring

I'd say that most of what tcp_tso_should_defer had in between
there was dead code because of this.

Yikes!!!!!

John, we've been living a lie for more than a year. :-/

On the bright side this explains a lot of small TSO frames I've been
seeing in traces over the past year but never got a chance to
investigate.

Ouch.  This fix may improve some benchmarks.

Re-checking this function was on my list of things to do because I had also noticed some TSO frames that seemed a bit small. This clearly explains it.
