[PATCH 3/3] [DCCP] ccid3: Consolidate handling of t_RTO

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@mandriva.com>]

This patch
 * removes setting t_RTO in ccid3_hc_tx_init (per [RFC 3448, 4.2], t_RTO is
   undefined until feedback has been received);

 * makes some trivial changes (updates of comments);

 * performs a small optimisation by exploiting that the feedback timeout
   uses the value of t_ipi. The way it is done is safe, because the timeouts
   appear after the changes to t_ipi, ensuring that up-to-date values are used;

 * in ccid3_hc_tx_packet_recv, moves the t_rto statement closer to the calculation
   of the next_tmout. This makes the code clearer to read and is also safe, since
   t_rto is not updated until the next call of ccid3_hc_tx_packet_recv, and is not
   read by the functions called via ccid_wait_for_ccid();

 * removes a `max' statement in sk_reset_timer, this is not needed since the timeout
   value is always greater than 1E6 microseconds.

 * adds `XXX'es to highlight that currently the nofeedback timer is set
   in a non-standard way
