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.

Move all the code that does linear TCP slowstart to one
inline function to ease later patch to add ABC support.

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.

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.

This patch implements Tom Kelly's Scalable TCP congestion control algorithm 
for the modular framework.

The algorithm has some nice scaling properties, and has been used a fair bit 
in research, though is known to have significant fairness issues, so it's not 
really suitable for general purpose use.
