tcp: fix for zero packets_in_flight was too broad
There are transients during normal FRTO procedure during which the packets_in_flight can go to zero between write_queue state updates and firing the resulting segments out. As FRTO processing occurs during that window the check must be more precise to not match "spuriously" :-). More specificly, e.g., when packets_in_flight is zero but FLAG_DATA_ACKED is true the problematic branch that set cwnd into zero would not be taken and new segments might be sent out later.
