Subject: tcp: fix potential underestimation on rcv_rtt

From: Wei Wang <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit 9ee11bd03cb1a5c3ca33c2bb70e7ed325f68890f ]

When ms timestamp is used, current logic uses 1us in tcp_rcv_rtt_update() when the real rcv_rtt is within 1 - 999us. This could cause rcv_rtt underestimation.
Fix it by always using a min value of 1ms if ms timestamp is used.
