rxrpc: Fix congestion management
rxrpc has a problem in its congestion management in that it saves the
congestion window size (cwnd) from one call to another, but if this is 0 at
the time is saved, then the next call may not actually manage to ever
transmit anything.
To this end:
(1) Don't save cwnd between calls, but rather reset back down to the
initial cwnd and re-enter slow-start if data transmission is idle for
more than an RTT.
(2) Preserve ssthresh instead, as that is a handy estimate of pipe
capacity. Knowing roughly when to stop slow start and enter
congestion avoidance can reduce the tendency to overshoot and drop
larger amounts of packets when probing.
In future, cwind growth also needs to be constrained when the window isn't
being filled due to being application limited.
