BTW I was curious why Google was not seeing this, and it appears Brian Vasquez
forgot to upstream this change...

re-tested: this change also resolves the regression i was seeing.

If you prefer to upstream this instead of the proposed change then I'm
fine with that.
This seems a bit less risky, if the plan is to add this to stable trees.
( We had this mitigation for ~4 years at Google)

I will rebase Brian patch (only the tcp_leave_memory_pressure part) and send it.

Thanks !
