rxrpc: Adjust retransmission backoff

commit 2c13c05

Improve retransmission backoff by only backing off when we retransmit data
packets rather than when we set the lost ack timer.

To this end:

 (1) In rxrpc_resend(), use rxrpc_get_rto_backoff() when setting the
     retransmission timer and only tell it that we are retransmitting if we
     actually have things to retransmit.

     Note that it's possible for the retransmission algorithm to race with
     the processing of a received ACK, so we may see no packets needing
     retransmission.

 (2) In rxrpc_send_data_packet(), don't bump the backoff when setting the
     ack_lost_at timer, as it may then get bumped twice.

With this, when looking at one particular packet, the retransmission
intervals were seen to be 1.5ms, 2ms, 3ms, 5ms, 9ms, 17ms, 33ms, 71ms,
136ms, 264ms, 544ms, 1.088s, 2.1s, 4.2s and 8.3s.
