Rick Jones reported that TCP_CONGESTION sockopt performed on a listener
was ignored for its children sockets : right after accept() the
congestion control for new socket is the system default one.

This seems an oversight of the initial design (quoted from Stephen)

Based on prior investigation and patch from Rick.
