tcp: add TCPMemoryPressuresChrono counter
DRAM supply shortage and poor memory pressure tracking in TCP
stack makes any change in SO_SNDBUF/SO_RCVBUF (or equivalent autotuning
limits) and tcp_mem[] quite hazardous.
TCPMemoryPressures SNMP counter is an indication of tcp_mem sysctl
limits being hit, but only tracking number of transitions.
If TCP stack behavior under stress was perfect :
1) It would maintain memory usage close to the limit.
2) Memory pressure state would be entered for short times.
We certainly prefer 100 events lasting 10ms compared to one event
lasting 200 seconds.
This patch adds a new SNMP counter tracking cumulative duration of
memory pressure events, given in ms units.
$ cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_mem

$ grep TCP /proc/net/sockstat
TCP: inuse 180 orphan 0 tw 2 alloc 234 mem 4140
$ nstat -n ; sleep 10 ; nstat |grep Pressure
TcpExtTCPMemoryPressures 1700
TcpExtTCPMemoryPressuresChrono 5209
v2: Used EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() instead of EXPORT_SYMBOL() as David
instructed.
