Let me clarify:

1) 9d9b1ee0b2d1 tcp: fix TCP_USER_TIMEOUT with zero window

   fixes the bug and makes it work.

2) The current patch makes the TCP_USER_TIMEOUT accurate for 0-window probes.
   It's independent.

With 1) and 2), the known issues with TCP_USER_TIMEOUT for 0-window probes
would be resolved.

Thanks.   -- Enke
