[TCP] BIC: remove low utilization code.
The latest BICTCP patch at: http://www.csc.ncsu.edu:8080/faculty/rhee/export/bitcp/index_files/Page546.htm disables the low_utilization feature of BICTCP because it doesn't work in some cases. This patch removes it. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
