In contrast to SIOCOUTQ which returns the amount of data sent
but not yet acknowledged plus data not yet sent this patch only
returns the data not sent.

For various methods of live streaming bitrate control it may
be helpful to know how much data are in the tcp outqueue are
not sent yet.

Applied, thanks.

A little bit late - but why not using struct tcp_info for that? The
information is already provided via getsockopt(TCP_INFO).
