9d2c27e17b tcp: Fix tcp_hybla zero congestion window growth with small rho and large cwnd.
Because of rounding, in certain conditions, i.e. when in congestion
avoidance state rho is smaller than 1/128 of the current cwnd, TCP
Hybla congestion control starves and the cwnd is kept constant
forever.

This patch forces an increment by one segment after #send_cwnd calls
without increments(newreno behavior).

16751347a0 [TCP]: remove unused argument to cong_avoid op
None of the existing TCP congestion controls use the rtt value pased
in the ca_ops->cong_avoid interface.  Which is lucky because seq_rtt
could have been -1 when handling a duplicate ack.

f4805eded7 [TCP]: fix congestion window update when using TSO deferal
TCP peformance with TSO over networks with delay is awful.
On a 100Mbit link with 150ms delay, we get 4Mbits/sec with TSO and
50Mbits/sec without TSO.

The problem is with TSO, we intentionally do not keep the maximum
number of packets in flight to fill the window, we hold out to until 
we can send a MSS chunk. But, we also don't update the congestion window 
unless we have filled, as per RFC2861.

This patch replaces the check for the congestion window being full
with something smarter that accounts for TSO.

6687e988d9 [ICSK]: Move TCP congestion avoidance members to icsk
This changeset basically moves tcp_sk()->{ca_ops,ca_state,etc} to inet_csk(),
minimal renaming/moving done in this changeset to ease review.

Most of it is just changes of struct tcp_sock * to struct sock * parameters.

With this we move to a state closer to two interesting goals:

1. Generalisation of net/ipv4/tcp_diag.c, becoming inet_diag.c, being used
   for any INET transport protocol that has struct inet_hashinfo and are
   derived from struct inet_connection_sock. Keeps the userspace API, that will
   just not display DCCP sockets, while newer versions of tools can support
   DCCP.

2. INET generic transport pluggable Congestion Avoidance infrastructure, using
   the current TCP CA infrastructure with DCCP.

835b3f0c0d [TCP]: Add TCP Hybla congestion control module.
TCP Hybla congestion avoidance.

- "In heterogeneous networks, TCP connections that incorporate a
terrestrial or satellite radio link are greatly disadvantaged with
respect to entirely wired connections, because of their longer round
trip times (RTTs). To cope with this problem, a new TCP proposal, the
TCP Hybla, is presented and discussed in the paper[1]. It stems from an
analytical evaluation of the congestion window dynamics in the TCP
standard versions (Tahoe, Reno, NewReno), which suggests the necessary
modifications to remove the performance dependence on RTT.[...]"[1]
