Since July 2008 (2.6.27, c1e20f7c8b9), the kernel stores the values for
RTAX_{RTT{,VAR},RTO_MIN} in milliseconds. When using a kernel > 2.6.27 with
the current iproute2, conversion of these values is broken in either way.
This patch
* updates the code to pass and retrieve milliseconds;
* since values < 1msec would be rounded up, also drops the usec/nsec variants;
* since there is no way to query kernel HZ, also drops the jiffies variant.
Arguments such as
rtt 3.23sec
rto_min 0xff
rto_min 0.200s
rttvar 25ms
now all work as expected when reading back previously set values.
