[PATCH 4.19 35/37] tcp_bbr: refactor bbr_target_cwnd() for general inflight provisioning

From: Priyaranjan Jha <priyarjha@google.com>

commit 232aa8ec3ed979d4716891540c03a806ecab0c37 upstream.

Because bbr_target_cwnd() is really a general-purpose BBR helper for
computing some volume of inflight data as a function of the estimated
BDP, refactor it into following helper functions:
- bbr_bdp()
- bbr_quantization_budget()
- bbr_inflight()
