tcp: restore autocorking

When adding rb-tree for TCP retransmit queue, we inadvertently broke
TCP autocorking.

tcp_should_autocork() should really check if the rtx queue is not empty.

Tested:

Before the fix :
$ nstat -n;./netperf -H 10.246.7.152 -Cc -- -m 500;nstat | grep AutoCork
MIGRATED TCP STREAM TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to 10.246.7.152 () port 0 AF_INET

// Same test, but forcing TCP_NODELAY
$ nstat -n;./netperf -H 10.246.7.152 -Cc -- -D -m 500;nstat | grep AutoCork
