3.6.11.1 stable review patch.
If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 93e3a886683c28e718e146c827e9cc750c88817e ]
Since commit 9dc274151a548 (tcp: fix ABC in tcp_slow_start()),
a nul snd_cwnd triggers an infinite loop in tcp_slow_start()
Avoid this infinite loop and log a one time error for further
analysis. FRTO code is suspected to cause this bug.
