Rewrite the rxrpc client connection manager so that it can support multiple
connections for a given security key to a peer.  The following changes are
made:

 (1) For each open socket, the code currently maintains an rbtree with the
     connections placed into it, keyed by communications parameters.  This
     is tricky to maintain as connections can be culled from the tree or
     replaced within it.  Connections can require replacement for a number
     of reasons, e.g. their IDs span too great a range for the IDR data
     type to represent efficiently, the call ID numbers on that conn would
     overflow or the conn got aborted.

     This is changed so that there's now a connection bundle object placed
     in the tree, keyed on the same parameters.  The bundle, however, does
     not need to be replaced.

 (2) An rxrpc_bundle object can now manage the available channels for a set
     of parallel connections.  The lock that manages this is moved there
     from the rxrpc_connection struct (channel_lock).

 (3) There'a a dummy bundle for all incoming connections to share so that
     they have a channel_lock too.  It might be better to give each
     incoming connection its own bundle.  This bundle is not needed to
     manage which channels incoming calls are made on because that's the
     solely at whim of the client.

 (4) The restrictions on how many client connections are around are
     removed.  Instead, a previous patch limits the number of client calls
     that can be allocated.  Ordinarily, client connections are reaped
     after 2 minutes on the idle queue, but when more than a certain number
     of connections are in existence, the reaper starts reaping them after
     2s of idleness instead to get the numbers back down.

     It could also be made such that new call allocations are forced to
     wait until the number of outstanding connections subsides.

<title>rxrpc: Fix the excessive initial retransmission timeout</title>

rxrpc currently uses a fixed 4s retransmission timeout until the RTT is
sufficiently sampled.  This can cause problems with some fileservers with
calls to the cache manager in the afs filesystem being dropped from the
fileserver because a packet goes missing and the retransmission timeout is
greater than the call expiry timeout.

Fix this by:

 (1) Copying the RTT/RTO calculation code from Linux's TCP implementation
     and altering it to fit rxrpc.

 (2) Altering the various users of the RTT to make use of the new SRTT
     value.

 (3) Replacing the use of rxrpc_resend_timeout to use the calculated RTO
     value instead (which is needed in jiffies), along with a backoff.

Notes:

 (1) rxrpc provides RTT samples by matching the serial numbers on outgoing
     DATA packets that have the RXRPC_REQUEST_ACK set and PING ACK packets
     against the reference serial number in incoming REQUESTED ACK and
     PING-RESPONSE ACK packets.

 (2) Each packet that is transmitted on an rxrpc connection gets a new
     per-connection serial number, even for retransmissions, so an ACK can
     be cross-referenced to a specific trigger packet.  This allows RTT
     information to be drawn from retransmitted DATA packets also.

 (3) rxrpc maintains the RTT/RTO state on the rxrpc_peer record rather than
     on an rxrpc_call because many RPC calls won't live long enough to
     generate more than one sample.

 (4) The calculated SRTT value is in units of 8ths of a microsecond rather
     than nanoseconds.

The (S)RTT and RTO values are displayed in /proc/net/rxrpc/peers.
