Subject: [PATCH] net: tcp: use NET_INC_STATS()

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>

While LINUX_MIB_TCPSPURIOUS_RTX_HOSTQUEUES can only be incremented
in tcp_transmit_skb() from softirq (incoming message or timer
activation), it is better to use NET_INC_STATS() instead of
NET_INC_STATS_BH() as tcp_transmit_skb() can be called from process
context.

This will avoid copy/paste confusion when/if we want to add
other SNMP counters in tcp_transmit_skb()
