tcp: purge write queue upon RST
[ Upstream commit a27fd7a8 ] When the connection is reset, there is no point in keeping the packets on the write queue until the connection is closed. RFC 793 (page 70) and RFC 793-bis (page 64) both suggest purging the write queue upon RST: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-tcpm-rfc793bis-07 Moreover, this is essential for a correct MSG_ZEROCOPY implementation, because userspace cannot call close(fd) before receiving zerocopy signals even when the connection is reset.
