[TCP] tcp_highspeed: Fix AI updates.

I think there is still a problem with the AIMD parameter update in
HighSpeed TCP code.

Line 125~138 of the code (net/ipv4/tcp_highspeed.c):

	/* Update AIMD parameters */
	if (tp->snd_cwnd > hstcp_aimd_vals[ca->ai].cwnd) {
		while (tp->snd_cwnd > hstcp_aimd_vals[ca->ai].cwnd &&
		       ca->ai < HSTCP_AIMD_MAX - 1)
			ca->ai++;
	} else if (tp->snd_cwnd < hstcp_aimd_vals[ca->ai].cwnd) {
		while (tp->snd_cwnd > hstcp_aimd_vals[ca->ai].cwnd &&
		       ca->ai > 0)
			ca->ai--;

In fact, the second part (decreasing ca->ai) never decreases since the
while loop's inequality is in the reverse direction. This leads to
unfairness with multiple flows (once a flow happens to enjoy a higher
ca->ai, it keeps enjoying that even its cwnd decreases)

Here is a tentative fix (I also added a comment, trying to keep the
change clear):
