[PATCH 2/9]: TCP: The Road to Super TSO

["David S. Miller" <davem@davemloft.net>]

[TCP]: Fix quick-ack decrementing with TSO.

On each packet output, we call tcp_dec_quickack_mode()
if the ACK flag is set.  It drops tp->ack.quick until
it hits zero, at which time we deflate the ATO value.

When doing TSO, we are emitting multiple packets with
ACK set, so we should decrement tp->ack.quick that many
segments.

Note that, unlike this case, tcp_enter_cwr() should not
take the tcp_skb_pcount(skb) into consideration.  That
function, one time, readjusts tp->snd_cwnd and moves
into TCP_CA_CWR state.
