tcp_cubic: switch bictcp_clock() to usec resolution

Current 1ms clock feeds ca->round_start, ca->delay_min,
ca->last_ack.

This is quite problematic for data-center flows, where delay_min
is way below 1 ms.

This means Hystart Train detection triggers every time jiffies value
is updated, since "((s32)(now - ca->round_start) > ca->delay_min >> 4)"
expression becomes true.

This kind of random behavior can be solved by reusing the existing
usec timestamp that TCP keeps in tp->tcp_mstamp

Note that a followup patch will tweak things a bit, because
during slow start, GRO aggregation on receivers naturally
increases the RTT as TSO packets gradually come to ~64KB size.

To recap, right after this patch CUBIC Hystart train detection
is more aggressive, since short RTT flows might exit slow start at
cwnd = 20, instead of being possibly unbounded.

Following patch will address this problem.
