tcp: better handle TCP_TX_DELAY on established flows

Some applications uses TCP_TX_DELAY socket option after TCP flow
is established.

Some metrics need to be updated, otherwise TCP might take time to
adapt to the new (emulated) RTT.

This patch adjusts tp->srtt_us, tp->rtt_min, icsk_rto
and sk->sk_pacing_rate.

This is best effort, and for instance icsk_rto is reset
without taking backoff into account.
