Subject: tcp: fix potential memory corruption

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>


[ Upstream commit ac9e70b17ecd7c6e933ff2eaf7ab37429e71bf4d ]

Imagine initial value of max_skb_frags is 17, and last
skb in write queue has 15 frags.

Then max_skb_frags is lowered to 14 or smaller value.

tcp_sendmsg() will then be allowed to add additional page frags
and eventually go past MAX_SKB_FRAGS, overflowing struct
skb_shared_info.
