Using sendmsg_current to detect if a packet needs to be retransmitted is
brittle as only packets containing data will ever be considered, packets
only containing a header (without data) were never being retransmitted.

The sendbuf_len is used to determine if a packets is being send or not,
a non-zero length means that a packets is still being in the "try-send"
state, the length is not set to zero when a valid SN is received.

Retransmission issue can be easily reproduced with a physical UART (not
cdc_acm over USB), by running the following command:

    while ratp-barebox-cli -b 115200 -t /dev/ttyACMx -p; do :; done

Alternatively, it is possible to modify lib/ratp.c to force packets to
be sent by the retransmission logic with the following change:

    @ int ratp_send_pkt(struct ratp_internal *ri, void *pkt, int length)
                    ri->sendbuf_len = length;
    -               ri->retransmission_timer_start = get_time_ns();
    +               ri->retransmission_timer_start = get_time_ns() - ri->rto * 
MSECOND/2;
                    ri->retransmission_count = 0;
            }
    -       return ri->ratp->send(ri->ratp, pkt, length);
    +       return 0;
