dccp: Reduce noise in output and convert to ktime_t 

This fixes the problem that dccp_probe output can grow quite large without
apparent benefit (many identical data points), creating huge files (up to
over one Gigabyte for a few minutes' test run) which are very hard to 
post-process (in one instance it got so bad that gnuplot ate up all memory
plus swap).

The cause for the problem is that the kprobe is inserted into dccp_sendmsg(),
which can be called in a polling-mode (whenever the TX queue is full due to
congestion-control issues, EAGAIN is returned). This creates many very 
similar data points, i.e. the increase of processing time does not increase
the quality/information of the probe output.

The fix is to attach the probe to a different function -- write_xmit was
chosen since it gets called continually (both via userspace and timer);
an input-path function would stop sampling as soon as the other end stops
sending feedback.

For comparison the output file sizes for the same 20 second test
run over a lossy link:
           * before / without patch:  118   Megabytes
           * after  / with patch:       1.2 Megabytes
and there was much less noise in the output.     

To allow backward compatibility with scripts that people use, the now-unused
`size' field in the output has been replaced with the CCID identifier. This
also serves for future compatibility - support for CCID2 is work in progress
(depends on the still unfinished SRTT/RTTVAR updates).

While at it, the update to ktime_t was also performed.
