-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
Patch from Joel Sing to fix the default congestion control algorithm for incoming connections. If a new congestion control handler is added (via module),
it should become the default for new connections. Instead, the incoming
connections use reno. The cause is incorrect
initialisation causes the tcp_init_congestion_control() function to return
after the initial if test fails.
