29c1c44646 tcp: add u32 counter in tcp_sock and an SNMP counter for PLB
A u32 counter is added to tcp_sock for counting the number of PLB
triggered rehashes for a TCP connection. An SNMP counter is also
added to count overall PLB triggered rehash events for a host. These
counters are hooked up to PLB implementation for DCTCP.

TCP_NLA_REHASH is added to SCM_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_STATS that reports
the rehash attempts triggered due to PLB or timeouts. This gives
a historical view of sustained congestion or timeouts experienced
by the TCP connection.

1a91bb7c3e tcp: add PLB functionality for TCP
Congestion control algorithms track PLB state and cause the connection
to trigger a path change when either of the 2 conditions is satisfied:

- No packets are in flight and (# consecutive congested rounds >=
  sysctl_tcp_plb_idle_rehash_rounds)
- (# consecutive congested rounds >= sysctl_tcp_plb_rehash_rounds)

A round (RTT) is marked as congested when congestion signal
(ECN ce_ratio) over an RTT is greater than sysctl_tcp_plb_cong_thresh.
In the event of RTO, PLB (via tcp_write_timeout()) triggers a path
change and disables congestion-triggered path changes for random time
between (sysctl_tcp_plb_suspend_rto_sec, 2*sysctl_tcp_plb_suspend_rto_sec)
to avoid hopping onto the "connectivity blackhole". RTO-triggered
path changes can still happen during this cool-off period.
