tcp: Overflow bug in Vegas

From: Lachlan Andrew <lachlan.andrew@gmail.com>

There is an overflow bug in net/ipv4/tcp_vegas.c for large BDPs
(e.g. 400Mbit/s, 400ms).  The multiplication (old_wnd *
vegas->baseRTT) << V_PARAM_SHIFT overflows a u32.

[ Fix tcp_veno.c too, it has similar calculations. -DaveM ]
