tcp: switch rtt estimations to usec resolution
Upcoming congestion controls for TCP require usec resolution for RTT
estimations. Millisecond resolution is simply not enough these days.
FQ/pacing in DC environments also require this change for finer control
and removal of bimodal behavior due to the current hack in
tcp_update_pacing_rate() for 'small rtt'
TCP_CONG_RTT_STAMP is no longer needed.
As Julian Anastasov pointed out, we need to keep user compatibility :
tcp_metrics used to export RTT and RTTVAR in msec resolution,
so we added RTT_US and RTTVAR_US. An iproute2 patch is needed
to use the new attributes if provided by the kernel.
In this example ss command displays a srtt of 32 usecs (10Gbit link)
lpk51:~# ./ss -i dst lpk52

Updated iproute2 ip command displays :

Old binary displays :
