[PATCH 4.9 58/83] tcp: make sure EPOLLOUT wont be missed

[ Upstream commit ef8d8ccdc216f797e66cb4a1372f5c4c285ce1e4 ]

As Jason Baron explained in commit 790ba4566c1a ("tcp: set SOCK_NOSPACE
under memory pressure"), it is crucial we properly set SOCK_NOSPACE
when needed.

However, Jason patch had a bug, because the 'nonblocking' status
as far as sk_stream_wait_memory() is concerned is governed
by MSG_DONTWAIT flag passed at sendmsg() time :

long timeo = sock_sndtimeo(sk, flags & MSG_DONTWAIT);

So it is very possible that tcp sendmsg() calls sk_stream_wait_memory(),
and that sk_stream_wait_memory() returns -EAGAIN with SOCK_NOSPACE
cleared, if sk->sk_sndtimeo has been set to a small (but not zero)
value.

This patch removes the 'noblock' variable since we must always
set SOCK_NOSPACE if -EAGAIN is returned.

It also renames the do_nonblock label since we might reach this
code path even if we were in blocking mode.
