tcp: fix slow start after idle vs TSO/GSO

slow start after idle might reduce cwnd, but we perform this
after first packet was cooked and sent.

With TSO/GSO, it means that we might send a full TSO packet
even if cwnd should have been reduced to IW10.

Moving the SSAI check in skb_entail() makes sense, because
we slightly reduce number of times this check is done,
especially for large send() and TCP Small queue callbacks from
softirq context.

As Neal pointed out, we also need to perform the check
if/when receive window opens.

Tested:

Following packetdrill test demonstrates the problem
// Test of slow start after idle

`sysctl -q net.ipv4.tcp_slow_start_after_idle=1`
