    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.
