    dccp: Return-value convention of hc_tx_send_packet() · fe84f414

    This patch reorganises the return value convention of the CCID TX sending
    function, to permit more flexible schemes, as required by subsequent patches.
    
    Currently the convention is
     * values < 0     mean error,
     * a value == 0   means "send now", and
     * a value x > 0  means "send in x milliseconds".
    
    The patch provides symbolic constants and a function to interpret return values.
    
    In addition, it caps the maximum positive return value to 0xFFFF milliseconds,
    corresponding to 65.535 seconds.  This is possible since in CCID-3/4 the
    maximum possible inter-packet gap is fixed at t_mbi = 64 sec.
