c718c6d66b tcpnv: do not export local function
The TCP New Vegas congestion control was exporting an internal
function tcpnv_get_info which is not used by any other in tree
kernel code. Make it static.

699fafafab tcp: add NV congestion control
TCP-NV (New Vegas) is a major update to TCP-Vegas.
An earlier version of NV was presented at 2010's LPC.
It is a delayed based congestion avoidance for the
data center. This version has been tested within a
10G rack where the HW RTTs are 20-50us and with
1 to 400 flows.

A description of TCP-NV, including implementation
details as well as experimental results, can be found at:
