This patch series improve RTT sampling in three ways:
1. Sample RTT during fast recovery and reordering events.
2. Favor ack-based RTT to timestamps because of broken TS ECR fields
3. Consolidate the RTT measurement logic.

The first patch consolidates SYNACK and other RTT measurement to use a
central function tcp_ack_update_rtt(). A (small) bonus is now SYNACK
RTT measurement happens after PAWS check, potentially reducing the
impact of RTO seeding on bad TCP timestamps values.

The idea seems very nice to me, but I think a line or two got dropped
in a rebase. :-)

In the previous version of this patch you moved the TFO-specific call
to tcp_synack_rtt_meas() out to a spot in tcp_rcv_state_process()
where both TFO and non-TFO passive connections would hit it. In this
version of the patch it removes the existing calls to
tcp_synack_rtt_meas() but does not add this new call to replace them.
(And it does not seem to be added back in a later patch in the
series.)

Other than that, looks great.
