tcp: instrument how long TCP is busy sending
This patch measures TCP busy time, which is defined as the period of time when sender has data (or FIN) to send. The time starts when data is buffered and stops when the write queue is flushed by ACKs or error events. Note the busy time does not include SYN time, unless data is included in SYN (i.e. Fast Open). It does include FIN time even if the FIN carries no payload. Excluding pure FIN is possible but would incur one additional test in the fast path, which may not be worth it.
