Merge branch 'tcp-delayed-completions'

Eric Dumazet says:

====================
tcp: better deal with delayed TX completions

Jakub and Neil reported an increase of RTO timers whenever
TX completions are delayed a bit more (by increasing
NIC TX coalescing parameters)

While problems have been there forever, second patch might
introduce some regressions so I prefer not backport
them to stable releases before things settle.

Many thanks to FB team for their help and tests.

Few packetdrill tests need to be changed to reflect
the improvements brought by this series.
