Subject: [PATCH net-next 2/3] tcp: refine tcp_tso_should_defer() after EDT adoption

tcp_tso_should_defer() last step tries to check if the probable
next ACK packet is coming in less than half rtt.

Problem is that the head->tstamp might be in the future,
so we need to use signed arithmetics to avoid overflows.
