[TCP]: Don't enter to fast recovery while using FRTO
Because TCP is not in Loss state during FRTO recovery, fast recovery could be triggered by accident. Non-SACK FRTO is more robust than not yet included SACK-enhanced version (that can receiver high number of duplicate ACKs with SACK blocks during FRTO), at least with unidirectional transfers, but under extraordinary patterns fast recovery can be incorrectly triggered, e.g., Data loss+ACK losses => cumulative ACK with enough SACK blocks to meet sacked_out >= dupthresh condition).
