dccp ccid-3: TFRC reverse-lookup Bug-Fix

This fixes a bug in the reverse lookup of p: given a value f(p), instead of p,
the function returned the smallest tabulated value f(p).

The smallest tabulated value of

   10^6 * f(p) =  sqrt(2*p/3) + 12 * sqrt(3*p/8) * (32 * p^3 + p)

for p=0.0001 is 8172.

Since this value is scaled by 10^6, the outcome of this bug is that a loss
of 8172/10^6 = 0.8172% was reported whenever the input was below the table
resolution of 0.01%.

This means that the value was over 80 times too high, resulting in large spikes
of the initial loss interval, thus unnecessarily reducing the throughput.

Also corrected the printk format (%u for u32).
