[PATCH] net: tcp: Fix a PTO timing granularity issue

[Ido Yariv <ido@wizery.com>]

The Tail Loss Probe RFC specifies that the PTO value should be set to
max(2 * SRTT, 10ms), where SRTT is the smoothed round-trip time.

The PTO value is converted to jiffies, so the timer might expire
prematurely. This is especially problematic on systems in which HZ=100.

To work around this issue, increase the number of jiffies by one,
ensuring that the timeout won't expire in less than 10ms.
