[TCP]: Describe tcp_init_cwnd() thoroughly in a comment.
People often get tripped up by this function and think that it does not implemented the prescribed algorithms from RFC2414 and RFC3390, even though it does. So add a comment to head off such misunderstandings in the future. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
