TCP peformance with TSO over networks with delay is awful.
On a 100Mbit link with 150ms delay, we get 4Mbits/sec with TSO and
50Mbits/sec without TSO.
The problem is with TSO, we intentionally do not keep the maximum
number of packets in flight to fill the window, we hold out to until
we can send a MSS chunk. But, we also don't update the congestion window
unless we have filledas per RFC2861.
This patch replaces the check for the congestion window being full
with something smarter that accounts for TSO.
