I always suffer from understanding your comment.
Apparently, my eyes have a problem. ;(

This patch is dependent of Mel's series.
With changing congestion_wait with just return when no congestion, it
would have CPU hogging in too_many_isolated. I think it would apply in
Li's congestion_wait_check, too.
If no change is current congestion_wait, we doesn't need this patch.

Still, maybe I can't understand your comment. Sorry.
