Haiyang Zhang 562b1fdf06 tcp: Set pingpong threshold via sysctl
TCP pingpong threshold is 1 by default. But some applications, like SQL DB
may prefer a higher pingpong threshold to activate delayed acks in quick
ack mode for better performance.

The pingpong threshold and related code were changed to 3 in the year
2019 in:
  commit 4a41f453bedf ("tcp: change pingpong threshold to 3")
And reverted to 1 in the year 2022 in:
  commit 4d8f24eeedc5 ("Revert "tcp: change pingpong threshold to 3"")

There is no single value that fits all applications.
Add net.ipv4.tcp_pingpong_thresh sysctl tunable, so it can be tuned for
optimal performance based on the application needs.
