net: Remove acked SYN flag from packet in the transmit queue correctly

The panic issue was trigered by tcp simultaneous initiation.
The initiation process is as follows:
TCP A TCP B
1. CLOSED CLOSED
2. SYN-SENT --> <SEQ=100><CTL=SYN> ...
3. SYN-RECEIVED <-- <SEQ=300><CTL=SYN> <-- SYN-SENT
4. ... <SEQ=100><CTL=SYN> --> SYN-RECEIVED
5. SYN-RECEIVED --> <SEQ=100><ACK=301><CTL=SYN,ACK> ...
// TCP B: not send challenge ack for ack limit or packet loss
// TCP A: close
tcp_close
tcp_send_fin
if (!tskb && tcp_under_memory_pressure(sk))
tskb = skb_rb_last(&sk->tcp_rtx_queue); //pick SYN_ACK packet
TCP_SKB_CB(tskb)->tcp_flags |= TCPHDR_FIN; // set FIN flag
6. FIN_WAIT_1 --> <SEQ=100><ACK=301><END_SEQ=102><CTL=SYN,FIN,ACK> ...
// TCP B: send challenge ack to SYN_FIN_ACK
7. ... <SEQ=301><ACK=101><CTL=ACK> <-- SYN-RECEIVED //challenge ack
// TCP A: <SND.UNA=101>
8. FIN_WAIT_1 --> <SEQ=101><ACK=301><END_SEQ=102><CTL=SYN,FIN,ACK> ... // retransmit panic
__tcp_retransmit_skb //skb->len=0
tcp_trim_head
len = tp->snd_una - TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->seq // len=101-100
__pskb_trim_head
skb->data_len -= len // skb->len=-1, wrap around
... ...
ip_fragment
icmp_glue_bits //BUG_ON
If we use tcp_trim_head() to remove acked SYN from packet that contains data
or other flags, skb->len will be incorrectly decremented. We can remove SYN
flag that has been acked from rtx_queue earlier than tcp_trim_head(), which
can fix the problem mentioned above.
