tcp: switch rcv_rtt_est and rcvq_space to high resolution timestamps

Browse Source 
Some devices or distributions use HZ=100 or HZ=250

TCP receive buffer autotuning has poor behavior caused by this choice.
Since autotuning happens after 4 ms or 10 ms, short distance flows
get their receive buffer tuned to a very high value, but after an initial
period where it was frozen to (too small) initial value.

With tp->tcp_mstamp introduction, we can switch to high resolution
timestamps almost for free (at the expense of 8 additional bytes per
TCP structure)

Note that some TCP stacks use usec TCP timestamps where this
patch makes even more sense : Many TCP flows have < 500 usec RTT.
Hopefully this finer TS option can be standardized soon.

Tested:
 HZ=100 kernel
 ./netperf -H lpaa24 -t TCP_RR -l 1000 -- -r 10000,10000 &

 Peer without patch :
 lpaa24:~# ss -tmi dst lpaa23
 ...
 skmem:(r0,rb8388608,...)
 rcv_rtt:10 rcv_space:3210000 minrtt:0.017

 Peer with the patch :
 lpaa23:~# ss -tmi dst lpaa24
 ...
 skmem:(r0,rb428800,...)
 rcv_rtt:0.069 rcv_space:30000 minrtt:0.017

We can see saner RCVBUF, and more precise rcv_rtt information.
