Applied to tcp-2.6, thanks!

I tidied up the coding style of the switch statement slightly.
So that it reads like this:

		switch (sysctl_tcp_frto_response) {
		case 2:
			tcp_undo_spur_to_response(sk);
			break;
		case 1:
			tcp_conservative_spur_to_response(tp);
			break;
		default:
			tcp_ratehalving_spur_to_response(sk);
			break;
		};

Thanks again.
