[PATCH] tcp: export symbol tcp_set_congestion_control

[Mingbao Sun <sunmingbao@tom.com>]

From: Mingbao Sun <tyler.sun@dell.com>

congestion-control could have a noticeable impaction on the
performance of TCP-based communications. This is of course true
to NVMe/TCP in the kernel.

Different congestion-controls (e.g., cubic, dctcp) are suitable for
different scenarios. Proper adoption of congestion control would
benefit the performance. On the contrary, the performance could be
destroyed.

So to gain excellent performance against different network
environments, NVMe/TCP tends to support specifying the
congestion-control.

This means NVMe/TCP (a kernel user) needs to set the congestion-control
of its TCP sockets.

Since the kernel API 'kernel_setsockopt' was removed, and since the
function ‘tcp_set_congestion_control’ is just the real underlying guy
handling this job, so it makes sense to get it exported.
