Octavian Purdila 293ad60401 tcp: Fix for race due to temporary drop of the socket lock in skb_splice_bits.
skb_splice_bits temporary drops the socket lock while iterating over
the socket queue in order to break a reverse locking condition which
happens with sendfile. This, however, opens a window of opportunity
for tcp_collapse() to aggregate skbs and thus potentially free the
current skb used in skb_splice_bits and tcp_read_sock.

This patch fixes the problem by (re-)getting the same "logical skb"
after the lock has been temporary dropped.

Based on idea and initial patch from Evgeniy Polyakov.
