Subject: [PATCH net-next] tcp: speedup tcp_fixup_rcvbuf()

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>

tcp_fixup_rcvbuf() contains a loop to estimate initial socket
rcv space needed for a given mss. With large MTU (like 64K on lo),
we can loop ~500 times and consume a lot of cpu cycles.

perf top of 200 concurrent netperf -t TCP_CRR

5.62%  netperf  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] tcp_init_buffer_space
1.71%  netperf  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] _raw_spin_lock
1.55%  netperf  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] kmem_cache_free
1.51%  netperf  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] tcp_transmit_skb
1.50%  netperf  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] tcp_ack

Lets use a 100% factor, and remove the loop.

100% is needed anyway for tcp_adv_win_scale=1
default value, and is also the maximum factor.

Refs: commit b49960a05e32 
      ("tcp: change tcp_adv_win_scale and tcp_rmem[2]")
