If the network becomes (partially) unavailable, say by disabling IPv6, the
background ACK transmission routine can get itself into a tizzy by
proposing immediate ACK retransmission.  Since we're in the call event
processor, that happens immediately without returning to the workqueue
manager.

The condition should clear after a while when either the network comes back
or the call times out.

Fix this by:

 (1) When re-proposing an ACK on failed Tx, don't schedule it immediately.
     This will allow a certain amount of time to elapse before we try
     again.

 (2) Enforce a return to the workqueue manager after a certain number of
     iterations of the call processing loop.

 (3) Add a backoff delay that increases the delay on deferred ACKs by a
     jiffy per failed transmission to a limit of HZ.  The backoff delay is
     cleared on a successful return from kernel_sendmsg().

 (4) Cancel calls immediately if the opening sendmsg fails.  The layer
     above can arrange retransmission or rotate to another server.
