[PATCH] [RFC] Add missing NULL check in `tls_strp_check_queue_ok`

From: Frederik Deweerdt

Hi!

We see `tls_strp_check_queue_ok` running into a NULL deref when
evaluating `TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->seq`.

This commit attempts to address the issue by exiting the loop if
skb->next is NULL, and has proven stable under load.

That said i don't understand the code enough to convince myself that
the NULL check is indeed required, and i would be happy gather data if
that's useful.
