Subject: [PATCH net] sctp: fix recovering from 0 win with small data chunks

Currently if SCTP closes the receive window with window pressure, mostly
caused by excessive skb overhead on payload/overheads ratio, SCTP will
close the window abruptly while saving the delta on rwnd_press. It will
start recovering rwnd as the chunks are consumed by the application and
the rwnd_press will be only recovered after rwnd reach the same value as
of rwnd_press, mostly to prevent silly window syndrome.

Thing is, this is very inefficient with small data chunks, as with those
it will never reach back that value, and thus it will never recover from
such pressure. This means that we will not issue window updates when
recovering from 0 window and will rely on a sender retransmit to notice
it.

The fix here is to remove such threshold, as no value is good enough: it
depends on the (avg) chunk sizes being used.

Test with netperf -t SCTP_STREAM -- -m 1, and trigger 0 window by
sending SIGSTOP to netserver, sleep 1.2, and SIGCONT.
Rate limited to 845kbps, for visibility. Capture done at netserver side.
