[TCP]: Use S+L catcher only with SACK for now

TCP has a transitional state when SACK is not in use during
which this invariant is temporarily broken. Without SACK,
tcp_clean_rtx_queue does not decrement sacked_out. Therefore
calls to tcp_sync_left_out before sacked_out is again
corrected by tcp_fastretrans_alert can trigger this trap as
sacked_out still has couple of segments that are already out
of window.
