dccp: Lockless integration of CCID congestion-control plugins
Based on Arnaldo's earlier patch, this patch integrates the standardised
CCID congestion control plugins (CCID-2 and CCID-3) of DCCP with dccp.ko:
* enables a faster connection path by eliminating the need to always go
through the CCID registration lock;
* updates the implementation to use only a single array whose size equals
the number of configured CCIDs instead of the maximum (256);
* since the CCIDs are now fixed array elements, synchronization is no
longer needed, simplifying use and implementation.
CCID-2 is suggested as minimum for a basic DCCP implementation (RFC 4340, 10);
CCID-3 is a standards-track CCID supported by RFC 4342 and RFC 5348.
