[Cake] Make the dual modes fairer

[George Amanakis]

Host fairness does not work well with TCP flows in dual-srchost, and
dual-dsthost setup. The reason is that ACKs generated by TCP flows
are classified as sparse flows and affect flow isolation from other
hosts. Fix this by calculating host_load based only on the bulk flows
a host generates.
