2c77a5eb8e BUG/MEDIUM: quic: Floating point exception in cubic_root()
It is illegal to call my_flsl() with 0 as parameter value. It is a UB.
This leaded cubic_root() to divide values by 0 at this line:

  x = 2 * x + (uint32_t)(val / ((uint64_t)x * (uint64_t)(x - 1)));

Thank you to Tristan971 for having reported this issue in GH #1808
and Willy for having spotted the root cause of this bug.

Must follow any cubic for QUIC backport (2.6).

1c9c2f6c02 MEDIUM: quic: Cubic congestion control algorithm implementation
Cubic is the congestion control algorithm used by default by the Linux kernel
since 2.6.15 version. This algorithm is supposed to achieve good scalability and
fairness between flows using the same network path, it should also be used by QUIC
by default. This patch implements this algorithm and select it as default algorithm
for the congestion control.

Must be backported to 2.6.
