tcp: fix the initial CWND when a SYN retransmission happened

Description

tcp: fix the initial CWND when a SYN retransmission happened

According to RFC 3390 the CWND should be set to one MSS if the
SYN or SYN-ACK has been retransmitted. This is handled in the
code by setting CWND to 1 and cc_conn_init() translates this
to MSS. Unfortunately, cc_cong_signal() was overwriting the
special value of 1 in case of a lost SYN, and therefore the
initial CWND was not as it was supposed to be.
Fix this by not overwriting the special value of 1.
