tcp: add tcp_reset_xmit_timer() helper
With EDT model, SRTT no longer is inflated by pacing delays.
This means that RTO and some other xmit timers might be setup
incorrectly. This is particularly visible with either :
- Very small enforced pacing rates (SO_MAX_PACING_RATE)
- Reduced rto (from the default 200 ms)
This can lead to TCP flows aborts in the worst case,
or spurious retransmits in other cases.
For example, this session gets far more throughput
than the requested 80kbit :
$ netperf -H 127.0.0.2 -l 100 -- -q 10000
MIGRATED TCP STREAM TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to 127.0.0.2 () port 0 AF_INET
Recv Send Send
Socket Socket Message Elapsed
Size Size Size Time Throughput
bytes bytes bytes secs. 10^6bits/sec
540000 262144 262144 104.00 2.66
With the fix :
$ netperf -H 127.0.0.2 -l 100 -- -q 10000
MIGRATED TCP STREAM TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to 127.0.0.2 () port 0 AF_INET
Recv Send Send

Size Size Size Time Throughput
bytes bytes bytes secs. 10^6bits/sec
540000 262144 262144 104.00 0.12
EDT allows for better control of rtx timers, since TCP has
a better idea of the earliest departure time of each skb
in the rtx queue. We only have to eventually add to the
timer the difference of the EDT time with current time.
