tcp: fix possible deadlock in tcp_send_fin()
commit d83769a5 upstream. Using sk_stream_alloc_skb() in tcp_send_fin() is dangerous in case a huge process is killed by OOM, and tcp_mem[2] is hit. To be able to free memory we need to make progress, so this patch allows FIN packets to not care about tcp_mem[2], if skb allocation succeeded. In a follow-up patch, we might abort tcp_send_fin() infinite loop in case TIF_MEMDIE is set on this thread, as memory allocator did its best getting extra memory already.
