tcp: refine TSO autosizing

tcp: refine TSO autosizing

Commit 6249207108ef ("tcp: TSO packets automatic sizing") tried to
control TSO size, but did this at the wrong place (sendmsg() time)

At sendmsg() time, we might have a pessimistic view of flow rate,
and we end up building very small skbs (with 2 MSS per skb).

This is bad because :

 - It sends small TSO packets even in Slow Start where rate quickly
   increases.
 - It tends to make socket write queue very big, increasing tcp_ack()
   processing time, but also increasing memory needs, not necessarily
   accounted for, as fast clones overhead is currently ignored.
 - Lower GRO efficiency and more ACK packets.

Servers with a lot of small lived connections suffer from this.

Lets instead fill skbs as much as possible (64KB of payload), but split
them at xmit time, when we have a precise idea of the flow rate.
skb split is actually quite efficient.

Patch looks bigger than necessary, because TCP Small Queue decision now
has to take place after the eventual split.

As Neal suggested, introduce a new tcp_tso_autosize() helper, so that
tcp_tso_should_defer() can be synchronized on same goal.

Rename tp->xmit_size_goal_segs to tp->gso_segs, as this variable
contains number of mss that we can put in GSO packet, and is not
related to the autosizing goal anymore.
