Subject: [PATCH net] tcp: Adjust clamping window for applications specifying SO_RCVBUF

tp->scaling_ratio is not updated based on skb->len/skb->truesize once
SO_RCVBUF is set leading to the maximum window scaling to be 25% of
rcvbuf after
commit dfa2f0483360 ("tcp: get rid of sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale")
and 50% of rcvbuf after
commit 697a6c8cec03 ("tcp: increase the default TCP scaling ratio").
50% tries to emulate the behavior of older kernels using
sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale with default value.

Systems which were using a different values of sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale
in older kernels ended up seeing reduced download speeds in certain
cases as covered in https://lists.openwall.net/netdev/2024/05/15/13
While the sysctl scheme is no longer acceptable, the value of 50% is
a bit conservative when the skb->len/skb->truesize ratio is later
determined to be ~0.66.

Applications not specifying SO_RCVBUF update the window scaling and
the receiver buffer every time data is copied to userspace. This
computation is now used for applications setting SO_RCVBUF to update
the maximum window scaling while ensuring that the receive buffer
is within the application specified limit.
