[ Upstream commit b879dcb1aeeca278eacaac0b1e2425b1c7599f9f ]
tcp_rcv_rtt_update() goal is to maintain an estimation of the RTT in tp->rcv_rtt_est.rtt_us, used by tcp_rcv_space_adjust()
When TCP TS are enabled, tcp_rcv_rtt_update() is using EWMA to smooth the samples.
Change this to immediately latch the incoming value if it is lower than tp->rcv_rtt_est.rtt_us, so that tcp_rcv_space_adjust() does not overshoot tp->rcvq_space.space and sk->sk_rcvbuf.
