Bug occurs because __tcp_checksum_complete_user() enables BH, assuming
it is running from softirq context.
Lars trace involved a NIC without RX checksum support but other points
are problematic as well, like the prequeue stuff.
Problem is triggered by a timer, that found socket being owned by user.
tcp_release_cb() should call tcp_write_timer_handler() or
tcp_delack_timer_handler() in the appropriate context :
BH disabled and socket lock held, but 'owned' field cleared,
as if they were running from timer handlers.
Fixes: 6f458dfb4092 ("tcp: improve latencies of timer triggered events")
