net-tcp: re-generalize TSO sizing in TCP CC module API
Reorganize the API for CC modules so that the CC module once again gets complete control of the TSO sizing decision. This is how the API was set up around 2016 and the initial BBRv1 upstreaming. Later Eric Dumazet simplified it. But with wider testing it now seems that to avoid CPU regressions BBR needs to have a different TSO sizing function. This is necessary to handle cases where there are many flows bottlenecked on the sender host's NIC, in which case BBR's pacing rate is much lower than CUBIC/Reno/DCTCP's. Why does this happen? Because BBR's pacing rate adapts to the low bandwidth share each flow sees. By contrast, CUBIC/Reno/DCTCP see no loss or ECN, so they grow a very large cwnd, and thus large pacing rate and large TSO burst size. Change-Id: Ic8ccfdbe4010ee8d4bf6a6334c48a2fceb2171ea
