tcp: refine TSO splits

While investigating performance problems on small RPC workloads,
I noticed linux TCP stack was always splitting the last TSO skb
into two parts (skbs). One being a multiple of MSS, and a small one
with the Push flag. This split is done even if TCP_NODELAY is set,
or if no small packet is in flight.

Example with request/response of 4K/4K

IP A > B: . ack 68432 win 2783 <nop,nop,timestamp 6524593 6525001>
IP A > B: . 65537:68433(2896) ack 69632 win 2783 <nop,nop,timestamp 6524593 6525001>
IP A > B: P 68433:69633(1200) ack 69632 win 2783 <nop,nop,timestamp 6524593 6525001>
IP B > A: . ack 68433 win 2768 <nop,nop,timestamp 6525001 6524593>
IP B > A: . 69632:72528(2896) ack 69633 win 2768 <nop,nop,timestamp 6525001 6524593>
IP B > A: P 72528:73728(1200) ack 69633 win 2768 <nop,nop,timestamp 6525001 6524593>
IP A > B: . ack 72528 win 2783 <nop,nop,timestamp 6524593 6525001>
IP A > B: . 69633:72529(2896) ack 73728 win 2783 <nop,nop,timestamp 6524593 6525001>
IP A > B: P 72529:73729(1200) ack 73728 win 2783 <nop,nop,timestamp 6524593 6525001>

We can avoid this split by including the Nagle tests at the right place.

Note : If some NIC had trouble sending TSO packets with a partial
last segment, we would have hit the problem in GRO/forwarding workload already.

tcp_minshall_update() is moved to tcp_output.c and is updated as we might
feed a TSO packet with a partial last segment.

This patch tremendously improves performance, as the traffic now looks
like :

IP A > B: . ack 98304 win 2783 <nop,nop,timestamp 6834277 6834685>
IP A > B: P 94209:98305(4096) ack 98304 win 2783 <nop,nop,timestamp 6834277 6834685>
IP B > A: . ack 98305 win 2768 <nop,nop,timestamp 6834686 6834277>
IP B > A: P 98304:102400(4096) ack 98305 win 2768 <nop,nop,timestamp 6834686 6834277>
IP A > B: . ack 102400 win 2783 <nop,nop,timestamp 6834279 6834686>
IP A > B: P 98305:102401(4096) ack 102400 win 2783 <nop,nop,timestamp 6834279 6834686>
IP B > A: . ack 102401 win 2768 <nop,nop,timestamp 6834687 6834279>
IP B > A: P 102400:106496(4096) ack 102401 win 2768 <nop,nop,timestamp 6834687 6834279>
IP A > B: . ack 106496 win 2783 <nop,nop,timestamp 6834280 6834687>
IP A > B: P 102401:106497(4096) ack 106496 win 2783 <nop,nop,timestamp 6834280 6834687>
IP B > A: . ack 106497 win 2768 <nop,nop,timestamp 6834688 6834280>

Indeed, the occupancy of tx skbs (IpExtOutOctets/IpOutRequests) is higher :
2099 instead of 1417, thus helping GRO to be more efficient when using FQ packet
scheduler.

Many thanks to Neal for review and ideas.
