Subject[PATCH] tcp: use RTAX_CWND for outgoing connections properly
For outgoing connections, the initial value of cwnd is always set to 2 (in 
tcp_v4_init_sock()) regardless of setting of RTAX_CWND. For incoming
connections, this is handled properly in tcp_init_metrics().

As a result of this, Linux TCP stack always uses cwnd == 2 at the beginning of
outgoing TCP session (i.e. waits for ACK after 2 packets once the connection
has been established) and grows it in accordance with slow-start algorithm
only after it receives ACK for first two packets.

When slow-start triggers later during the connection (e.g. after idle),
cwnd is properly re-initialized to RTAX_CWND value (if specified) through
tcp_cwnd_restart() -> tcp_init_cwnd().

Initialize tp->snd_cwnd properly so that RTAX_CWND value is being used
also in the slow-start phase for the first packets in the connection.
