[PATCH 09/10] [PATCH] tcp: set default congestion control correctly for incoming connections

[Chris Wright <chrisw@osdl.org>]

-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.
