net/tls: remove false positive warning
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.
