Subject: [PATCH v2] net: dccp: Add SIOCOUTQ IOCTL support (send buffer fill)

From: Richard Sailer <rs@...edocomputers.com>

This adds support for the SIOCOUTQ IOCTL to call send buffer fill
from the DCCP socket, like UDP and TCP already have.

Regarding the used data field. DCCP uses per packet sequence numbers,
not per byte, so sequence numbers can't be used like in TCP. sk_wmem_queued
is not used by DCCP and always 0, even in test on highly congested paths.
Therefore this uses sk_wmem_alloc like in UDP.

v2: Add Signed-off-by line and fix tab-vs-space error produced by badly
configuerd emacs
