[Bloat] passive network delay monitoring utility

[Eric Dumazet]

I had the honor to attend Kathleen presentation at Google ;)

I then worked on making sure TCP TS TSval  would use 1ms units,
regardless of CONFIG_HZ option in the kernel, since apparently some
distros/devices use HZ=250 or even HZ=100

This should be in linux-4.13 when released.
