[PATCH 6.19 73/86] rxrpc: Fix to request an ack if window is limited

6.19-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Marc Dionne <marc.c.dionne at gmail.com>

commit 0cd3e3f3f2ec1a45aa559e2c0f3d57fac5eb3c25 upstream.

Peers may only send immediate acks for every 2 UDP packets received.
When sending a jumbogram, it is important to check that there is
sufficient window space to send another same sized jumbogram following
the current one, and request an ack if there isn't.  Failure to do so may
cause the call to stall waiting for an ack until the resend timer fires.

Where jumbograms are in use this causes a very significant drop in
performance.

Fixes: fe24a5494390 ("rxrpc: Send jumbo DATA packets")
