[PATCH net-next] tcp: use likely() for srtt check in tcp_rtt_estimator()

In tcp_rtt_estimator(), srtt is initialized to a non-zero value
after the first RTT measurement (srtt = m << 3) and never returns
to zero for the lifetime of the connection. Thus, the "srtt != 0"
branch is almost always true.

Marking it with likely() helps the compiler generate better code
for this hot path.

No functional change is introduced.
