SubjectRe: [PATCH 2/3] net: TCP thin linear timeouts

I agree that the name should be changed. As it represents linear
timeouts and does not back off exponentially, I suggest
TCP_THIN_LINEAR_TIMEOUTS and sysctl_tcp_thin_linear_timeouts.

The rationale behind the suggested model is to allow the modifications
to be forced active in cases where the application that generates the
thin stream is proprietary, legacy, or that the code for other reasons
can not be modified (as is the case, for instance, for many game
clients).
