Replace 2 arguments (cnt and rtt) in the congestion control modules'
pkts_acked() function with a struct. This will allow adding more
information without having to modify existing congestion control
modules (tcp_nv in particular needs bytes in flight when packet
was sent).
As proposed by Neal Cardwell in his comments to the tcp_nv patch.

We would like that optional info provided by Congestion Control
modules using netlink can also be read using getsockopt()
This patch changes get_info() to put this information in a buffer,
instead of skb, like tcp_get_info(), so that following patch
can reuse this common infrastructure.

Two different problems are fixed here :
1) inet_sk_diag_fill() might be called without socket lock held.
icsk->icsk_ca_ops can change under us and module be unloaded.
-> Access to freed memory.
Fix this using rcu_read_lock() to prevent module unload.
2) Some TCP Congestion Control modules provide information
but again this is not safe against icsk->icsk_ca_ops
change and nla_put() errors were ignored. Some sockets
could not get the additional info if skb was almost full.
Fix this by returning a status from get_info() handlers and
using rcu protection as well.

There are a mix of function prototypes with and without extern
in the kernel sources. Standardize on not using extern for
function prototypes.
Function prototypes don't need to be written with extern.
extern is assumed by the compiler. Its use is as unnecessary as
using auto to declare automatic/local variables in a block.

This patch changes the API for the callback that is done after an ACK is
received. It solves a couple of issues:
* Some congestion controls want higher resolution value of RTT
(controlled by TCP_CONG_RTT_SAMPLE flag). These don't really want a ktime, but
all compute a RTT in microseconds.
* Other congestion control could use RTT at jiffies resolution.
To keep API consistent the units should be the same for both cases, just the
resolution should change.

Rather than using a copy of vegas code, the YEAH code should just have
it exported so there is common code.
