Subject: [PATCH net-next] tcp: expose sk_state in tcp_retransmit_skb tracepoint

With sk_state, we can know whether this connection is in SYN_SENT state
or ESTBLISHED state.
The reason to distinguish between these two scenario is that the
retransmission in ESTABLISHED state always mean network congestion while
in SYN_SENT state it always mean server issue, i.e. the syn packet is
dropped due to syn backlog queue full.

PS: SYNACK retransmission is traced in tcp_retransmit_synack tracepoint.
