Subject: [PATCH v1 iproute2-next 1/1] tcp: accecn: add tcpi_ecn_mode and tcpi_option2 in tcp_info

From: Chia-Yu Chang <chia-yu.chang@...ia-bell-labs.com>

Add 2-bit tcpi_ecn_mode feild within tcp_info to indicate which ECN
mode is negotiated: ECN_MODE_DISABLED, ECN_MODE_RFC3168, ECN_MODE_ACCECN,
or ECN_MODE_PENDING. This is done by utilizing available bits from
tcpi_accecn_opt_seen (reduced from 16 bits to 2 bits) and
tcpi_accecn_fail_mode (reduced from 16 bits to 4 bits).

Also, an extra 24-bit tcpi_options2 field is identified to represent
newer options and connection features, as all 8 bits of tcpi_options
field have been used.
