Not sure, that it is nice. If normal kernel thread fiddles with
delayed acks (you know it better, I do not), it is also racy.

Due to atomicity of timer routines, and since all of the other TCP
state is read only by the delayed ACK timer setting function, we
are OK. I did check this quickly when applying your patch.
