tcp_cubic: fix low utilization of CUBIC with HyStart
HyStart sets the initial exit point of slow start. Suppose that HyStart exits at 0.5BDP in a BDP network and no history exists. If the BDP of a network is large, CUBIC's initial cwnd growth may be too conservative to utilize the link. CUBIC increases the cwnd 20% per RTT in this case.
