Merge branch 'tcp_nv'

Lawrence Brakmo says:

====================
tcp: add NV congestion control

Removed most of the module parameters

Tested in a rack using between 1 and 380 active TCP-NV flows.

Consists of the following patches:
[PATCH net-next v2 1/2] tcp: add in_flight to tcp_skb_cb
[PATCH net-next v2 2/2] tcp: add NV congestion control

+       TCP NV is a follow up to TCP Vegas. It has been modified to deal with
+       10G networks, measurement noise introduced by LRO, GRO and interrupt
+       coalescence. In addition, it will decrease its cwnd multiplicatively
+       instead of linearly.
+
+       Note that in general congestion avoidance (cwnd decreased when # packets
+       queued grows) cannot coexist with congestion control (cwnd decreased only
+       when there is packet loss) due to fairness issues. One scenario when they
+       can coexist safely is when the CA flows have RTTs << CC flows RTTs.
