[PATCH] apply cwnd rules to FIN packets with data

[John Heffner <jheffner@psc.edu>]

This is especially important with TSO enabled.  Currently, it will send 
a burst of up to 64k at the end of a connection, even when cwnd is much 
smaller than 64k.  This patch still lets out empty FIN packets, but does 
not apply the special case to FINs carrying data.

Apply cwnd rules to FIN packets that contain data.
