tcp: adjust window probe timers to safer values 

With the advent of small rto timers in datacenter TCP,
(ip route ... rto_min x), the following can happen :

1) Qdisc is full, transmit fails.

   TCP sets a timer based on icsk_rto to retry the transmit, without
   exponential backoff.
   With low icsk_rto, and lot of sockets, all cpus are servicing timer
   interrupts like crazy.
   Intent of the code was to retry with a timer between 200 (TCP_RTO_MIN)
   and 500ms (TCP_RESOURCE_PROBE_INTERVAL)

2) Receivers can send zero windows if they don't drain their receive queue.

   TCP sends zero window probes, based on icsk_rto current value, with
   exponential backoff.
   With /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_retries2 being 15 (or even smaller in
   some cases), sender can abort in less than one or two minutes !
   If receiver stops the sender, it obviously doesn't care of very tight
   rto. Probability of dropping the ACK reopening the window is not
   worth the risk.

Lets change the base timer to be at least 200ms (TCP_RTO_MIN) for these
events (but not normal RTO based retransmits)

A followup patch adds a new SNMP counter, as it would have helped a lot
diagnosing this issue.
