dccp: Lockless integration of CCID congestion-control plugins
Based on Arnaldo's earlier patch, this patch integrates the standardised CCID congestion control plugins (CCID-2 and CCID-3) of DCCP with dccp.ko: * enables a faster connection path by eliminating the need to always go through the CCID registration lock; * updates the implementation to use only a single array whose size equals the number of configured CCIDs instead of the maximum (256); * since the CCIDs are now fixed array elements, synchronization is no longer needed, simplifying use and implementation. CCID-2 is suggested as minimum for a basic DCCP implementation (RFC 4340, 10); CCID-3 is a standards-track CCID supported by RFC 4342 and RFC 5348.

- CCID 2, TCP-like Congestion Control, denotes Additive Increase,
- Multiplicative Decrease (AIMD) congestion control with behavior
- modelled directly on TCP, including congestion window, slow start,
- timeouts, and so forth [RFC 2581]. CCID 2 achieves maximum
- bandwidth over the long term, consistent with the use of end-to-end
- congestion control, but halves its congestion window in response to
- each congestion event. This leads to the abrupt rate changes
- typical of TCP. Applications should use CCID 2 if they prefer
- maximum bandwidth utilization to steadiness of rate. This is often
- the case for applications that are not playing their data directly
- to the user. For example, a hypothetical application that
- transferred files over DCCP, using application-level retransmissions
- for lost packets, would prefer CCID 2 to CCID 3. On-line games may
- also prefer CCID 2. See RFC 4341 for further details.

- CCID2 is the default CCID used by DCCP.
