net: fix divide by zero in tcp algorithm illinois

Reading TCP stats when using TCP Illinois congestion control algorithm
can cause a divide by zero kernel oops.

The division by zero occur in tcp_illinois_info() at:
 do_div(t, ca->cnt_rtt);
where ca->cnt_rtt can become zero (when rtt_reset is called)

Steps to Reproduce:
 1. Register tcp_illinois:
     # sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control=illinois
 2. Monitor internal TCP information via command "ss -i"
     # watch -d ss -i
 3. Establish new TCP conn to machine

Either it fails at the initial conn, or else it needs to wait
for a loss or a reset.

This is only related to reading stats.  The function avg_delay() also
performs the same divide, but is guarded with a (ca->cnt_rtt > 0) at its
calling point in update_params().  Thus, simply fix tcp_illinois_info().

Function tcp_illinois_info() / get_info() is called without
socket lock.  Thus, eliminate any race condition on ca->cnt_rtt
by using a local stack variable.  Simply reuse info.tcpv_rttcnt,
as its already set to ca->cnt_rtt.
Function avg_delay() is not affected by this race condition, as
its called with the socket lock.
