tcp_cubic: fix spurious Hystart ACK train detections for not-cwnd-limited flows
While testing BIG TCP patch series, I was expecting that TCP_RR workloads with 80KB requests/answers would send one 80KB TSO packet, then being received as a single GRO packet. It turns out this was not happening, and the root cause was that cubic Hystart ACK train was triggering after a few (2 or 3) rounds of RPC. Hystart was wrongly setting CWND/SSTHRESH to 30, while my RPC needed a budget of ~20 segments. Ideally these TCP_RR flows should not exit slow start. Cubic Hystart should reset itself at each round, instead of assuming every TCP flow is a bulk one. Note that even after this patch, Hystart can still trigger, depending on scheduling artifacts, but at a higher CWND/SSTHRESH threshold, keeping optimal TSO packet sizes.
