Subject: [PATCH 4.19 014/142] tcp: Do not underestimate rwnd_limited

4.19-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

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

[ Upstream commit 41727549de3e7281feb174d568c6e46823db8684 ]

If available rwnd is too small, tcp_tso_should_defer()
can decide it is worth waiting before splitting a TSO packet.

This really means we are rwnd limited.

Fixes: 5615f88614a4 ("tcp: instrument how long TCP is limited by receive window")
