Subject: [PATCH 4.9 054/199] tcp: fix off-by-one bug on aborting window-probing socket

From: Yuchung Cheng <ycheng@...gle.com>

[ Upstream commit 3976535af0cb9fe34a55f2ffb8d7e6b39a2f8188 ]

Previously there is an off-by-one bug on determining when to abort
a stalled window-probing socket. This patch fixes that so it is
consistent with tcp_write_timeout().
