[PATCH net] tcp: purge write queue upon RST

[Soheil Hassas Yeganeh <soheil.kdev@gmail.com>]

From: Soheil Hassas Yeganeh <soheil@google.com>

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.

Fixes: f214f915e7db ("tcp: enable MSG_ZEROCOPY")
