We need to scan the buffers in the transmission queue occasionally when processing ACKs, but the transmission queue is currently a linked list of transmission buffers which, when we eventually expand the Tx window to 8192 packets will be very slow to walk. Instead, pull the fields we need to examine a lot (last sent time, retransmitted flag) into a new struct rxrpc_txqueue and make each one hold an array of 32 or 64 packets. The transmission queue is then a list of these structs, each pointing to a contiguous set of packets. Scanning is then a lot faster as the flags and timestamps are concentrated in the CPU dcache. The transmission timestamps are stored as a number of microseconds from a base ktime to reduce memory requirements. This should be fine provided we manage to transmit an entire buffer within an hour. This will make implementing RACK-TLP [RFC8985] easier as it will be less costly to scan the transmission buffers.
