tcp: avoid resetting ACK timer upon receiving packet with ECN CWR flag
Previously commit
9aee40006190 ("tcp: ack immediately when a cwr
packet arrives") calls tcp_enter_quickack_mode to force sending
two immediate ACKs upon receiving a packet w/ CWR flag. The side
effect is it'll also reset the delayed ACK timer and interactive
session tracking. This patch removes that side effect by using the
new ACK_NOW flag to force an immmediate ACK.
Packetdrill to demonstrate:
