tcp: remove 1ms offset in srtt computation
TCP pacing depends on an accurate srtt estimation.
Current srtt estimation is using jiffie resolution,
and has an artificial offset of at least 1 ms, which can produce
slowdowns when FQ/pacing is used, especially in DC world,
where typical rtt is below 1 ms.
We are planning a switch to usec resolution for linux-3.15,
but in the meantime, this patch removes the 1 ms offset.
All we need is to have tp->srtt minimal value of 1 to differentiate
the case of srtt being initialized or not, not 8.
The problematic behavior was observed on a 40Gbit testbed,
where 32 concurrent netperf were reaching 12Gbps of aggregate
speed, instead of line speed.
This patch also has the effect of reporting more accurate srtt and send
rates to iproute2 ss command as in :
$ ss -i dst cca2
