tcp: tsq: restore minimal amount of queueing 

[ Upstream commit 98e09386c0 ]

After commit c9eeec26e3 ("tcp: TSQ can use a dynamic limit"), several
users reported throughput regressions, notably on mvneta and wifi
adapters.

802.11 AMPDU requires a fair amount of queueing to be effective.

This patch partially reverts the change done in tcp_write_xmit()
so that the minimal amount is sysctl_tcp_limit_output_bytes.

It also remove the use of this sysctl while building skb stored
in write queue, as TSO autosizing does the right thing anyway.

Users with well behaving NICS and correct qdisc (like sch_fq),
can then lower the default sysctl_tcp_limit_output_bytes value from
128KB to 8KB.

This new usage of sysctl_tcp_limit_output_bytes permits each driver
authors to check how their driver performs when/if the value is set
to a minimum of 4KB.

Normally, line rate for a single TCP flow should be possible,
but some drivers rely on timers to perform TX completion and
too long TX completion delays prevent reaching full throughput.

typical pfifo_fast qdiscs.
tcp_limit_output_bytes limits the number of bytes on qdisc
or device to reduce artificial RTT/cwnd and reduce bufferbloat.
Note: For GSO/TSO enabled flows, we try to have at least two
packets in flight. Reducing tcp_limit_output_bytes might also
reduce the size of individual GSO packet (64KB being the max)
