John Heffner ae8064ac32 [TCP]: Bound TSO defer time
This patch limits the amount of time you will defer sending a TSO segment
to less than two clock ticks, or the time between two acks, whichever is
longer.

On slow links, deferring causes significant bursts.  See attached plots,
which show RTT through a 1 Mbps link with a 100 ms RTT and ~100 ms queue
for (a) non-TSO, (b) currnet TSO, and (c) patched TSO.  This burstiness
causes significant jitter, tends to overflow queues early (bad for short
queues), and makes delay-based congestion control more difficult.

Deferring by a couple clock ticks I believe will have a relatively small
impact on performance.
