tcp: fix the timid additive increase on stretch ACKs
tcp_cong_avoid_ai() was too timid (snd_cwnd increased too slowly) on "stretch ACKs" -- cases where the receiver ACKed more than 1 packet in a single ACK. For example, suppose w is 10 and we get a stretch ACK for 20 packets, so acked is 20. We ought to increase snd_cwnd by 2 (since acked/w = 20/10 = 2), but instead we were only increasing cwnd by 1. This patch fixes that behavior.
