I see, io_run_task_work() is too late, sk_stream_wait_memory() is
already woken up.
I still think this patch is unsafe. What about explicitly handling the
restart in tls_sw_release_resources_tx() ? The main point is that such
function is called by inet_release() and the latter can't be re-
started.
