tcp_bbr: better deal with suboptimal GSO

Browse Source 
[ Upstream commit 350c9f484b ]

BBR uses tcp_tso_autosize() in an attempt to probe what would be the
burst sizes and to adjust cwnd in bbr_target_cwnd() with following
gold formula :

/* Allow enough full-sized skbs in flight to utilize end systems. */
cwnd += 3 * bbr->tso_segs_goal;

But GSO can be lacking or be constrained to very small
units (ip link set dev ... gso_max_segs 2)

What we really want is to have enough packets in flight so that both
GSO and GRO are efficient.

So in the case GSO is off or downgraded, we still want to have the same
number of packets in flight as if GSO/TSO was fully operational, so
that GRO can hopefully be working efficiently.

To fix this issue, we make tcp_tso_autosize() unaware of
sk->sk_gso_max_segs

Only tcp_tso_segs() has to enforce the gso_max_segs limit.

Tested:

ethtool -K eth0 tso off gso off
tc qd replace dev eth0 root pfifo_fast

Before patch:
for f in {1..5}; do ./super_netperf 1 -H lpaa24 -- -K bbr; done
    691  (ss -temoi shows cwnd is stuck around 6 )
    667
    651
    631
    517

After patch :
# for f in {1..5}; do ./super_netperf 1 -H lpaa24 -- -K bbr; done
   1733 (ss -temoi shows cwnd is around 386 )
   1778
   1746
   1781
   1718
