dccp ccid-3: TFRC reverse-lookup Bug-Fix
This fixes a bug in the reverse lookup of p: given a value f(p), instead of p, the function returned the smallest tabulated value f(p). The smallest tabulated value of 10^6 * f(p) = sqrt(2*p/3) + 12 * sqrt(3*p/8) * (32 * p^3 + p) for p=0.0001 is 8172. Since this value is scaled by 10^6, the outcome of this bug is that a loss of 8172/10^6 = 0.8172% was reported whenever the input was below the table resolution of 0.01%. This means that the value was over 80 times too high, resulting in large spikes of the initial loss interval, thus unnecessarily reducing the throughput. Also corrected the printk format (%u for u32). Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>
