Only update the conntrack timer if there's been at least HZ jiffies since
the last update. Reduces the number of del_timer/add_timer cycles from one
per packet to one per connection per second (plus once for each state change
of a connection)

This patch implements a suggestion by Ian McDonald and
1) Avoids tests against negative packet lengths by using unsigned int
for packet payload lengths in the CCID send_packet()/packet_sent() routines
2) As a consequence, it removes an now unnecessary test with regard to `len > 0'
in ccid3_hc_tx_packet_sent: that condition is always true, since
* negative packet lengths are avoided
* ccid3_hc_tx_send_packet flags an error whenever the payload length is 0.
As a consequence, ccid3_hc_tx_packet_sent is never called as all errors
returned by ccid_hc_tx_send_packet are caught in dccp_write_xmit
3) Removes the third argument of ccid_hc_tx_send_packet (the `len' parameter),
since it is currently always set to skb->len. The code is updated with regard
to this parameter change.

This implements the larger-initial-windows feature for CCID 3, as described in
section 5 of RFC 4342. When the first feedback packet arrives, the sender can
send up to 2..4 packets per RTT, instead of just one.
The patch further
* reduces the number of timestamping calls by passing the timestamp value
(which is computed in one of the calling functions anyway) as argument
* renames one constant with a very long name into one which is shorter and
resembles the one in RFC 3448 (t_mbi)
* simplifies some of the min_t/max_t cases where both `x', `y' have the same
type
Commiter note: renamed TFRC_t_mbi to TFRC_T_MBI, to follow Linux coding style.

This patch
* removes setting t_RTO in ccid3_hc_tx_init (per [RFC 3448, 4.2], t_RTO is
undefined until feedback has been received);
* makes some trivial changes (updates of comments);
* performs a small optimisation by exploiting that the feedback timeout
uses the value of t_ipi. The way it is done is safe, because the timeouts
appear after the changes to t_ipi, ensuring that up-to-date values are used;
* in ccid3_hc_tx_packet_recv, moves the t_rto statement closer to the calculation
of the next_tmout. This makes the code clearer to read and is also safe, since
t_rto is not updated until the next call of ccid3_hc_tx_packet_recv, and is not
read by the functions called via ccid_wait_for_ccid();
* removes a `max' statement in sk_reset_timer, this is not needed since the timeout
value is always greater than 1E6 microseconds.
* adds `XXX'es to highlight that currently the nofeedback timer is set
in a non-standard way

This patch:
* consolidates updating of parameters (t_nom, t_ipi, t_delta) which
need to be updated at the same time, since they are inter-dependent
* removes two inline functions which are no longer needed as a result of
the above consolidation
* resolves a FIXME regarding the re-calculation of t_ipi within the nofeedback
timer, in the state where no feedback has previously been received
* ties updating these parameters to updating the sending rate X, exploiting
that all three parameters in turn depend on X; and using a small optimisation
which can reduce the number of required instructions: only update the three
parameters when X really changes

This patch concerns updating the value of the nofeedback timer when no feedback
has been received so far.
Since in this case the value of R is still undefined according to [RFC 3448,
4.2], we can not perform step (3) of [RFC 3448, 4.3]. A clarification is
provided in [RFC 4342, sec. 5], which states that in these cases the nofeedback
timer (still) expires "after two seconds".
Many thanks to Ian McDonald for pointing this out and providing the
clarification.
The patch
* implements [RFC 4342, sec. 5] with regard to the above case
* consolidates handling timer restart by
- adding an appropriate jump label and
- initialising the timeout value

This patch consolidates set/getsockopt code between UDP(-Lite) v4 and 6. The
justification is that UDP(-Lite) is a transport-layer protocol and therefore
the socket option code (at least in theory) should be AF-independent.
Furthermore, there is the following code reduplication:
* do_udp{,v6}_getsockopt is 100% identical between v4 and v6
* do_udp{,v6}_setsockopt is identical up to the following differerence
--v4 in contrast to v4 additionally allows the experimental encapsulation
types UDP_ENCAP_ESPINUDP and UDP_ENCAP_ESPINUDP_NON_IKE
--the remainder is identical between v4 and v6
I believe that this difference is of little relevance.
The advantages in not duplicating twice almost completely identical code.
The patch further simplifies the interface of udp{,v6}_push_pending_frames,
since for the second argument (struct udp_sock *up) it always holds that
up = udp_sk(sk); where sk is the first function argument.

This patch removes a switch statement which is redundant since,
* nothing is done in states TFRC_SSTATE_NO_SENT/TFRC_SSTATE_NO_FBACK
* it is impossible that the function is called in the state TFRC_SSTATE_TERM, since
--the function is called, in dccp_write_xmit, after ccid3_hc_tx_send_packet
--if ccid3_hc_tx_send_packet is called in state TFRC_SSTATE_TERM, it returns
-EINVAL, which means that ccid3_hc_tx_packet_sent will not be called
(compare dccp_write_xmit)
--> therefore, this case is logically impossible
* the remaining state is TFRC_SSTATE_FBACK which conditionally updates t_ipi, t_nom,
and t_delta. This is a no-op, since
--t_ipi only changes when feedback is received
--however, when feedback arrives via ccid3_hc_tx_packet_recv, there is an identical
code block which performs the same set of operations
--performing the same set of operations again in ccid3_hc_tx_packet_sent therefore
does not change anything, since between the time of receiving the last feedback
(and therefore update of t_ipi, t_nom, and t_delta), the value of t_ipi has not
changed
--since t_ipi has not changed, the values of t_delta and t_nom also do not change,
they depend fully on t_ipi

This resolves an `XXX' in ccid3_hc_tx_send_packet().
The function is only called on Data and DataAck packets and returns a negative
result on zero-sized messages. This is a reasonable policy since CCID 3 is a
congestion-control module and congestion control on zero-sized Data(Ack)
packets is in a way pathological.
The patch uses a more suitable error code for this case, it returns the Posix.1
code `EBADMSG' ("Not a data message") instead of `ENOTCONN'.
As a result of ignoring zero-sized packets, a the condition for a warning
"First packet is data" in ccid3_hc_tx_packet_sent is always satisfied; this
message has been removed since it will always be printed.

This patch performs a simplifying (performance) optimisation:
In each call of the inline function ccid3_calc_new_t_ipi(), the state is
tested against TFRC_SSTATE_NO_FBACK. This is expensive when the function
is called very often. A simpler solution, implemented by this patch, is
to adapt the control flow.
