RFC 3465 defines a limit L used in TCP slow start for limiting the number

Description

RFC 3465 defines a limit L used in TCP slow start for limiting the number
of acked bytes as described in Section 2.2 of that document.
This patch ensures that this limit is not also applied in congestion
avoidance. Applying this limit also in congestion avoidance can result in
using less bandwidth than allowed.
