In the scaled no-shrink path, __tcp_select_window() currently rounds the raw free-space value up to the receive-window scale quantum.
That can expose fresh sender-visible credit beyond the currently backed free space. Fix this without changing the meaning of the stored receive-window state. Keep tp->rcv_wnd representable in scaled units by rounding larger windows down to the scale quantum and preserving only the small non-zero case that would otherwise scale away to zero. tcp_select_window() already preserves the no-shrink guarantee from the currently offered window, so later no-shrink decisions continue to reason from a right edge the peer actually saw on the wire. This removes the larger-window quantization slack from rounding free_space up, while preserving the small non-zero case needed to avoid scaling away to zero.
