Subject: [PATCH] tcp: avoid infinite loop in tcp_splice_read()

[ Upstream commit ccf7abb93af09ad0868ae9033d1ca8108bdaec82 ]

Splicing from TCP socket is vulnerable when a packet with URG flag is
received and stored into receive queue.

__tcp_splice_read() returns 0, and sk_wait_data() immediately
returns since there is the problematic skb in queue.

This is a nice way to burn cpu (aka infinite loop) and trigger
soft lockups.

Again, this gem was found by syzkaller tool.

CVE: CVE-2017-6214
Upstream-Status: Backport [from kernel.org longterm 4.9.52]

Fixes: 9c55e01c0cc8 ("[TCP]: Splice receive support.")
