dctcp: more accurate tracking of packets delivery
After commit e21db6f69a95 ("tcp: track total bytes delivered with ECN CE marks")
core TCP stack does a very good job tracking ECN signals.
The "sender's best estimate of CE information" Yuchung mentioned in his
patch is indeed the best we can do.
DCTCP can use tp->delivered_ce and tp->delivered to not duplicate the logic,
and use the existing best estimate.
This solves some problems, since current DCTCP logic does not deal with losses
and/or GRO or ack aggregation very well.
This also removes a dubious use of inet_csk(sk)->icsk_ack.rcv_mss
(this should have been tp->mss_cache), and a 64 bit divide.
Finally, we can see that the DCTCP logic, calling dctcp_update_alpha() for
every ACK could be done differently, calling it only once per RTT.
