tcp: remove SOCK_QUEUE_SHRUNK

SOCK_QUEUE_SHRUNK is currently used by TCP as a temporary state
that remembers if some room has been made in the rtx queue
by an incoming ACK packet.

This is later used from tcp_check_space() before
considering to send EPOLLOUT.

Problem is: If we receive SACK packets, and no packet
is removed from RTX queue, we can send fresh packets, thus
moving them from write queue to rtx queue and eventually
empty the write queue.

This stall can happen if TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT is used.

With this fix, we no longer risk stalling sends while holes
are repaired, and we can fully use socket sndbuf.

This also removes a cache line dirtying for typical RPC
workloads.

Fixes: c9bee3b7fd ("tcp: TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT socket option")
