This patch causes CCID2 to check the ack ratio after reducing the
congestion window. If the ack ratio is greater than the congestion
window, it is reduced. This prevents timeouts caused by an ack ratio
larger than the congestion window.
In this situation, we choose to set the ack ratio to half the congestion
window (or one if that's zero) so that if we loose one ack we don't
trigger a timeout.
