====================
sctp: make the PLPMTUD probe more effective and efficient

As David Laight noticed, it currently takes quite some time to find
the optimal pmtu in the Search state, and also lacks the black hole
detection in the Search Complete state. This patchset is to address
them to mke the PLPMTUD probe more effective and efficient.

plpmtud_probe_interval - INTEGER

        The time interval (in milliseconds) for sending PLPMTUD probe chunks.

        These chunks are sent at the specified interval with a variable size

        to probe the mtu of a given path between 2 endpoints. PLPMTUD will

        be disabled when 0 is set, and other values for it must be >= 5000.

        The time interval (in milliseconds) for the PLPMTUD probe timer,

        which is configured to expire after this period to receive an

        acknowledgment to a probe packet. This is also the time interval

        between the probes for the current pmtu when the probe search

        is done.



        PLPMTUD will be disabled when 0 is set, and other values for it

        must be >= 5000.
