tcp: improve handling of stopped timers
When a TCP timer is stopped, t_timers[] is set to SBT_MAX. Adding the
corresponding t_precisions[], if it is not zero, would result in
overflows in tcp_timer_next(). To avoid this, skip stopped timers.
The problem was identified while debugging uperf by Lukas Book and
an initial patch was provided by him. The committed patch was
suggested by glebius.
The problem can be observed by running netstat -nxptcp and looking for
negative timer values and by observing very long running timers in
some cases.
