Cambda Zhu 6d4634d1b0 net: Limit logical shift left of TCP probe0 timeout
For each TCP zero window probe, the icsk_backoff is increased by one and
its max value is tcp_retries2. If tcp_retries2 is greater than 63, the
probe0 timeout shift may exceed its max bits. On x86_64/ARMv8/MIPS, the
shift count would be masked to range 0 to 63. And on ARMv7 the result is
zero. If the shift count is masked, only several probes will be sent
with timeout shorter than TCP_RTO_MAX. But if the timeout is zero, it
needs tcp_retries2 times probes to end this false timeout. Besides,
bitwise shift greater than or equal to the width is an undefined
behavior.

This patch adds a limit to the backoff. The max value of max_when is
TCP_RTO_MAX and the min value of timeout base is TCP_RTO_MIN. The limit
is the backoff from TCP_RTO_MIN to TCP_RTO_MAX.
