reverts commit 94153e36 ("tipc: use existing sk_write_queue for
outgoing packet chain")

In Commit 94153e36, we assume that we fill & empty the socket's
sk_write_queue within the same lock_sock() session.

This is not true if the link is congested. During congestion, the
socket lock is released while we wait for the congestion to cease.
This implementation causes a nullptr exception, if the user space
program has several threads accessing the same socket descriptor.

Consider two threads of the same program performing the following:
     Thread1                                  Thread2
--------------------                    ----------------------
Enter tipc_sendmsg()                    Enter tipc_sendmsg()
lock_sock()                             lock_sock()
Enter tipc_link_xmit(), ret=ELINKCONG   spin on socket lock..
sk_wait_event()                             :
release_sock()                          grab socket lock
    :                                   Enter tipc_link_xmit(), ret=0
    :                                   release_sock()
Wakeup after congestion
lock_sock()
skb = skb_peek(pktchain);
!! TIPC_SKB_CB(skb)->wakeup_pending = tsk->link_cong;

In this case, the second thread transmits the buffers belonging to
both thread1 and thread2 successfully. When the first thread wakeup
after the congestion it assumes that the pktchain is intact and
operates on the skb's in it, which leads to the following exception:
