Subject: [PATCH] apply cwnd rules to FIN packets with data

This is especially important with TSO enabled.  Currently, it will send 
a burst of up to 64k at the end of a connection, even when cwnd is much 
smaller than 64k.  This patch still lets out empty FIN packets, but does 
not apply the special case to FINs carrying data.
