dccp: Extend CCID packet dequeueing interface

This extends the packet dequeuing interface of dccp_write_xmit() to allow
 1. CCIDs to take care of timing when the next packet may be sent;
 2. delayed sending (as before, with an inter-packet gap up to 65.535 seconds).

The main purpose is to take CCID2 out of its polling mode (when it is network-
limited, it tries every millisecond to send, without interruption).
The interface can also be used to support other CCIDs.

The mode of operation for (2) is as follows:
 * new packet is enqueued via dccp_sendmsg() => dccp_write_xmit(),
 * ccid_hc_tx_send_packet() detects that it may not send (e.g. window full), 
 * it signals this condition via `CCID_PACKET_WILL_DEQUEUE_LATER',
 * dccp_write_xmit() returns without further action;
 * after some time the wait-condition for CCID becomes true,
 * that CCID schedules the tasklet,
 * tasklet function calls ccid_hc_tx_send_packet() via dccp_write_xmit(),
 * since the wait-condition is now true, ccid_hc_tx_packet() returns "send now",
 * packet is sent, and possibly more (since dccp_write_xmit() loops).

Code reuse: the taskled function calls dccp_write_xmit(), the timer function
            reduces to a wrapper around the same code.

If the tasklet finds that the socket is locked, it re-schedules the tasklet
function (not the tasklet) after one jiffy.

Changed DCCP_BUG to dccp_pr_debug when transmit_skb returns an error (e.g. when a
local qdisc is used, NET_XMIT_DROP=1 can be returned for many packets).
