[PATCH] tcp_cubic: fix the range of delayed_ack

[Liu Yu <allanliuyu@gmail.com>]

From: Liu Yu <allanyuliu@tencent.com>

commit b9f47a3aaeab (tcp_cubic: limit delayed_ack ratio to prevent
divide error) try to prevent divide error, but there is still a little
chance that delayed_ack can reach zero. In case the param cnt get
negative value, then ratio+cnt would overflow and may happen to be zero.
As a result, min(ratio, ACK_RATIO_LIMIT) will calculate to be zero.

In some old kernels, such as 2.6.32, there is a bug that would
pass negative param, which then ultimately leads to this divide error.

commit 5b35e1e6e9c (tcp: fix tcp_trim_head() to adjust segment count
with skb MSS) fixed the negative param issue. However, 
it's safe that we fix the range of delayed_ack as well,
to make sure we do not hit a divide by zero.
