The latest BICTCP patch at:
http://www.csc.ncsu.edu:8080/faculty/rhee/export/bitcp/index_files/Page546.htm
disables the low_utilization feature of BICTCP because it doesn't work
in some cases. This patch removes it.

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.

The max growth of BIC TCP is too large. Original code was based on
BIC 1.0 and the default there was 32. Later code (2.6.13) included
compensation for delayed acks, and should have reduced the default
value to 16; since normally TCP gets one ack for every two packets sent.
The current value of 32 makes BIC too aggressive and unfair to other
flows.

Missing parenthesis in causes BIC to be slow in increasing congestion
window.

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.

TCP BIC congestion control reworked to use the new congestion control
infrastructure. This version is more up to date than the BIC
code in 2.6.12; it incorporates enhancements from BICTCP 1.1,
to handle low latency links.
