tcp: tso: allow CA_CWR state in tcp_tso_should_defer()

Another TCP issue is triggered by ECN.

Under pressure, receiver gets ECN marks, and send back ACK packets
with ECE TCP flag. Senders enter CA_CWR state.

In this state, tcp_tso_should_defer() is short cut :

if (icsk->icsk_ca_state != TCP_CA_Open)
    goto send_now;

This means that about all ACK packets we receive are triggering
a partial send, and because cwnd is kept small, we can only send
a small amount of data for each incoming ACK,
which in return generate more ACK packets.

Allowing CA_Open and CA_CWR states to enable TSO defer in
tcp_tso_should_defer() brings performance back :
TSO autodefer has more chance to defer under pressure.

This patch increases TSO and LRO/GRO efficiency back to normal levels,
and does not impact overall ECN behavior.
