tcp: fix tcp_cong_avoid_ai() credit accumulation bug with decreases in w

The recent change to tcp_cong_avoid_ai() to handle stretch ACKs
introduced a bug where snd_cwnd_cnt could accumulate a very large
value while w was large, and then if w was reduced snd_cwnd could be
incremented by a large delta, leading to a large burst and high packet
loss. This was tickled when CUBIC's bictcp_update() sets "ca->cnt =
100 * cwnd".

This bug crept in while preparing the upstream version of
814d488c6126.

Testing: This patch has been tested in datacenter netperf transfers
and live youtube.com and google.com servers.
