[PATCH net] tcp: fix potential memory corruption

[PATCH net] tcp: fix potential memory corruption

[Eric Dumazet]

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>

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.

Fixes: 5f74f82ea34c ("net:Add sysctl_max_skb_frags")
