[PATCH 3/3 Ver2] tcp: Slightly optimize tcp_sendmsg

[Krishna Kumar <krkumar2@in.ibm.com>]

From: Krishna Kumar <krkumar2@in.ibm.com>

Slightly optimize tcp_sendmsg since NETIF_F_SG is used many
times iteratively in the loop. The only other modification is
to change:
			} else if (i == MAX_SKB_FRAGS ||
				   (!i &&
				   !(sk->sk_route_caps & NETIF_F_SG))) {
	to:
			} else if (i == MAX_SKB_FRAGS || !sg) {

The reason why this change is correct: this code (other than
the MAX_SKB_FRAGS case) executes only due to the else part
of: "if (skb_tailroom(skb) > 0) {" - i.e. there was no space
in the skb to put the data inline. Hence SG is false is a
sufficient condition, and there is no way a fragment can be
added to the skb.

Changelog:
	- Added the above explanation for the change
