Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL for 4.9 098/100] tcp: fix under-evaluated ssthresh in
 TCP Vegas

From: Hoang Tran <tranviethoang.vn@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit cf5d74b85ef40c202c76d90959db4d850f301b95 ]

With the commit 76174004a0f19785 (tcp: do not slow start when cwnd equals
ssthresh), the comparison to the reduced cwnd in tcp_vegas_ssthresh() would
under-evaluate the ssthresh.
