tcp: sk_add_backlog() is too agressive for TCP
While investigating TCP performance problems on 10Gb+ links, we found a
tcp sender was dropping lot of incoming ACKS because of sk_rcvbuf limit
in sk_add_backlog(), especially if receiver doesnt use GRO/LRO and sends
one ACK every two MSS segments.
A sender usually tweaks sk_sndbuf, but sk_rcvbuf stays at its default
value (87380), allowing a too small backlog.
A TCP ACK, even being small, can consume nearly same truesize space than
outgoing packets. Using sk_rcvbuf + sk_sndbuf as a limit makes sense and
is fast to compute.
Performance results on netperf, single flow, receiver with disabled
GRO/LRO : 7500 Mbits instead of 6050 Mbits, no more TCPBacklogDrop
increments at sender.
