[PATCH net-next v2] tcp: fix condition for increasing pingpong count

[LemmyHuang <hlm3280@163.com>]

When CONFIG_HZ defaults to 1000Hz and the network transmission time is
less than 1ms, lsndtime and lrcvtime are likely to be equal, which will
lead to hundreds of interactions before entering pingpong mode.

Fixes: 4a41f453bedf ("tcp: change pingpong threshold to 3")
