Florian Westphal 343dfaa198 Revert "dctcp: update cwnd on congestion event" 
Neal Cardwell says:
 If I am reading the code correctly, then I would have two concerns:
 1) Has that been tested? That seems like an extremely dramatic
    decrease in cwnd. For example, if the cwnd is 80, and there are 40
    ACKs, and half the ACKs are ECE marked, then my back-of-the-envelope
    calculations seem to suggest that after just 11 ACKs the cwnd would be
    down to a minimal value of 2 [..]
 2) That seems to contradict another passage in the draft [..] where it
    sazs:
       Just as specified in [RFC3168], DCTCP does not react to congestion
       indications more than once for every window of data.

Neal is right.  Fortunately we don't have to complicate this by testing
vs. current rtt estimate, we can just revert the patch.

Normal stack already handles this for us: receiving ACKs with ECE
set causes a call to tcp_enter_cwr(), from there on the ssthresh gets
adjusted and prr will take care of cwnd adjustment.
