net/tls: remove false positive warning

Browse Source 
It's possible that TCP stack will decide to retransmit a packet
right when that packet's data gets acked, especially in presence
of packet reordering.  This means that packets may be in flight,
even though tls_device code has already freed their record state.
Make fill_sg_in() and in turn tls_sw_fallback() not generate a
warning in that case, and quietly proceed to drop such frames.

Make the exit path from tls_sw_fallback() drop monitor friendly,
for users to be able to troubleshoot dropped retransmissions.

.. _pre_tls_data:
Transmission of pre-TLS data
----------------------------
User can enqueue some already encrypted and framed records before enabling
``ktls`` on the socket. Those records have to get sent as they are. This is
perfectly easy to handle in the software case - such data will be waiting
in the TCP layer, TLS ULP won't see it. In the offloaded case when pre-queued
segment reaches transmission point it appears to be out of order (before the
expected TCP sequence number) and the stack does not have a record information
associated.
All segments without record information cannot, however, be assumed to be
pre-queued data, because a race condition exists between TCP stack queuing
a retransmission, the driver seeing the retransmission and TCP ACK arriving
for the retransmitted data.
