[ Upstream commit db7196a0d0984b933ccf2cd6a60e26abf466e8a3 ]

Commit 76174004a0f19785a328f40388e87e982bbf69b9
(tcp: do not slow start when cwnd equals ssthresh )
introduced regression in TCP YeAH. Using 100ms delay 1% loss virtual
ethernet link kernel 4.2 shows bandwidth ~500KB/s for single TCP
connection and kernel 4.3 and above (including 4.8-rc4) shows bandwidth
~100KB/s.
   That is caused by stalled cwnd when cwnd equals ssthresh. This patch
fixes it by proper increasing cwnd in this case.
