Backport of commit fdfc5c85 ("tcp: remove empty skb from write queue in error cases") in linux-4.14 stable triggered various bugs. One of them has been fixed in commit ba2ddb43f270 ("tcp: Don't dequeue SYN/FIN-segments from write-queue"), but we still have crashes in some occasions. Root-cause is that when tcp_sendmsg() has allocated a fresh skb and could not append a fragment before being blocked in sk_stream_wait_memory(), tcp_write_xmit() might be called and decide to send this fresh and empty skb. Sending an empty packet is not only silly, it might have caused many issues we had in the past with tp->packets_out being out of sync. Fixes: c65f7f00 ("[TCP]: Simplify SKB data portion allocation with NETIF_F_SG.")
