tcp: don't abort splice() after small transfers

TCP coalescing added a regression in splice(socket->pipe) performance,
for some workloads because of the way tcp_read_sock() is implemented.

The reason for this is the break when (offset + 1 != skb->len).

As we released the socket lock, this condition is possible if TCP stack
added a fragment to the skb, which can happen with TCP coalescing.

So let's go back to the beginning of the loop when this happens,
to give a chance to splice more frags per system call.

Doing so fixes the issue and makes GRO 10% faster than LRO
on CPU-bound splice() workloads instead of the opposite.
