[PATCH] fix TCP roundtrip time update code
One of those very-hard-to-track-down, trivial-to-fix kind of problems: without this patch, TCP roundtrip time measurements will corrupt the routing cache's RTT estimates under heavy network load (the bug causes RTAX_RTT to go negative, but since its type is u32, you end up with a huge positive value...). From there on, later TCP connections quickly will go south. The typo was introduced 8 months ago in v1.29 of the file by the patch entitled "Cleanup DST metrics and abstrct MSS/PMTU further".
