In commit ccce324dabfe ("tcp: make the first N SYN RTO backoffs linear")
David used icsk->icsk_backoff field to track the number of linear timeouts.
Since then, tp->total_rto has been added.
This commit uses tp->total_rto instead of icsk->icsk_backoff
so that tcp_ld_RTO_revert() no longer can trigger an overflow
in inet_csk_rto_backoff(). Other than the potential UBSAN
report, there was no issue because receiving an ICMP message
currently aborts the connect().
In the following patch, we want to adhere to RFC 6069
and RFC 1122 4.2.3.9.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
