rxrpc_min_rtt_wlen is never used after it was introduced.
So better to remove it.

The Rx protocol has a mechanism to help generate RTT samples that works by
a client transmitting a REQUESTED-type ACK when it receives a DATA packet
that has the REQUEST_ACK flag set.
The peer, however, may interpose other ACKs before transmitting the
REQUESTED-ACK, as can be seen in the following trace excerpt:
rxrpc_tx_data: c=00000044 DATA d0b5ece8:00000001 00000001 q=00000001 fl=07
rxrpc_rx_ack: c=00000044 00000001 PNG r=00000000 f=00000002 p=00000000 n=0
rxrpc_rx_ack: c=00000044 00000002 REQ r=00000001 f=00000002 p=00000001 n=0
...
DATA packet 1 (q=xx) has REQUEST_ACK set (bit 1 of fl=xx). The incoming
ping (labelled PNG) hard-acks the request DATA packet (f=xx exceeds the
sequence number of the DATA packet), causing it to be discarded from the Tx
ring. The ACK that was requested (labelled REQ, r=xx references the serial
of the DATA packet) comes after the ping, but the sk_buff holding the
timestamp has gone and the RTT sample is lost.
This is particularly noticeable on RPC calls used to probe the service
offered by the peer. A lot of peers end up with an unknown RTT because we
only ever sent a single RPC. This confuses the server rotation algorithm.
Fix this by caching the information about the outgoing packet in RTT
calculations in the rxrpc_call struct rather than looking in the Tx ring.
A four-deep buffer is maintained and both REQUEST_ACK-flagged DATA and
PING-ACK transmissions are recorded in there. When the appropriate
response ACK is received, the buffer is checked for a match and, if found,
an RTT sample is recorded.
If a received ACK refers to a packet with a later serial number than an
entry in the cache, that entry is presumed lost and the entry is made
available to record a new transmission.
ACKs types other than REQUESTED-type and PING-type cause any matching
sample to be cancelled as they don't necessarily represent a useful
measurement.
If there's no space in the buffer on ping/data transmission, the sample
base is discarded.

rxrpc currently uses a fixed 4s retransmission timeout until the RTT is
sufficiently sampled. This can cause problems with some fileservers with
calls to the cache manager in the afs filesystem being dropped from the
fileserver because a packet goes missing and the retransmission timeout is
greater than the call expiry timeout.
Fix this by:
(1) Copying the RTT/RTO calculation code from Linux's TCP implementation
and altering it to fit rxrpc.
(2) Altering the various users of the RTT to make use of the new SRTT
value.
(3) Replacing the use of rxrpc_resend_timeout to use the calculated RTO
value instead (which is needed in jiffies), along with a backoff.
Notes:
(1) rxrpc provides RTT samples by matching the serial numbers on outgoing
DATA packets that have the RXRPC_REQUEST_ACK set and PING ACK packets
against the reference serial number in incoming REQUESTED ACK and
PING-RESPONSE ACK packets.
(2) Each packet that is transmitted on an rxrpc connection gets a new
per-connection serial number, even for retransmissions, so an ACK can
be cross-referenced to a specific trigger packet. This allows RTT
information to be drawn from retransmitted DATA packets also.
(3) rxrpc maintains the RTT/RTO state on the rxrpc_peer record rather than
on an rxrpc_call because many RPC calls won't live long enough to
generate more than one sample.
(4) The calculated SRTT value is in units of 8ths of a microsecond rather
than nanoseconds.
The (S)RTT and RTO values are displayed in /proc/net/rxrpc/peers.
