[DCCP] tfrc: Fix small error in reverse lookup of p for given f(p)

Browse source 
This fixes the following small error in tfrc_calc_x_reverse_lookup.

 1) The table is generated by the following equations:
	lookup[index][0] = g((index+1) * 1000000/TFRC_CALC_X_ARRSIZE);
	lookup[index][1] = g((index+1) * TFRC_CALC_X_SPLIT/TFRC_CALC_X_ARRSIZE);
    where g(q) is 1E6 * f(q/1E6)

 2) The reverse lookup assigns an entry in lookup[index][small]

 3) This index needs to match the above, i.e.
    * if small=0 then

      		p  = (index + 1) * 1000000/TFRC_CALC_X_ARRSIZE

    * if small=1 then

		p = (index+1) * TFRC_CALC_X_SPLIT/TFRC_CALC_X_ARRSIZE

These are exactly the changes that the patch makes; previously the code did
not conform to the way the lookup table was generated (this difference resulted
in a mean error of about 1.12%).
