dccp: Lockless integration of CCID congestion-control plugins

Based on Arnaldo's earlier patch, this patch integrates the standardised
CCID congestion control plugins (CCID-2 and CCID-3) of DCCP with dccp.ko:

 * enables a faster connection path by eliminating the need to always go 
   through the CCID registration lock;

 * updates the implementation to use only a single array whose size equals
   the number of configured CCIDs instead of the maximum (256);

 * since the CCIDs are now fixed array elements, synchronization is no
   longer needed, simplifying use and implementation.

CCID-2 is suggested as minimum for a basic DCCP implementation (RFC 4340, 10);
CCID-3 is a standards-track CCID supported by RFC 4342 and RFC 5348.

-	  Multiplicative Decrease (AIMD) congestion control with behavior
-	  modelled directly on TCP, including congestion window, slow start,

-	  bandwidth over the long term, consistent with the use of end-to-end
-	  congestion control, but halves its congestion window in response to
-	  each congestion event.  This leads to the abrupt rate changes
-	  typical of TCP.  Applications should use CCID 2 if they prefer
-	  maximum bandwidth utilization to steadiness of rate.  This is often
-	  the case for applications that are not playing their data directly
-	  to the user.  For example, a hypothetical application that
-	  transferred files over DCCP, using application-level retransmissions
-	  for lost packets, would prefer CCID 2 to CCID 3.  On-line games may
-	  also prefer CCID 2.  See RFC 4341 for further details.
