Commit 164891aadf broke RTT
sampling of congestion control modules. Inaccurate timestamps
could be fed to them without providing any way for them to
identify such cases. Previously RTT sampler was called only if
FLAG_RETRANS_DATA_ACKED was not set filtering inaccurate
timestamps nicely. In addition, the new behavior could give an
invalid timestamp (zero) to RTT sampler if only skbs with
TCPCB_RETRANS were ACKed. This solves both problems.

To avoid raw division, use ktime_to_timeval() to get usec.

Do some simple changes to make congestion control API faster/cleaner.
* use ktime_t rather than timeval
* merge rtt sampling into existing ack callback
this means one indirect call versus two per ack.
* use flags bits to store options/settings

This version more closely matches the paper, and fixes several
math errors. The biggest difference is that it updates alpha/beta
once per RTT

This is an implementation of TCP Illinois invented by Shao Liu
at University of Illinois. It is a another variant of Reno which adapts
the alpha and beta parameters based on RTT. The basic idea is to increase
window less rapidly as delay approaches the maximum. See the papers
and talks to get a more complete description.
