CVE-2021-4442

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

tcp: add sanity tests to TCP_QUEUE_SEQ

Qingyu Li reported a syzkaller bug where the repro
changes RCV SEQ after restoring data in the receive queue.

mprotect(0x4aa000, 12288, PROT_READ) = 0
mmap(0x1ffff000, 4096, PROT_NONE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x1ffff000

setsockopt(3, SOL_TCP, TCP_QUEUE_SEQ, [128], 4) = 0
recvfrom(3, NULL, 20, 0, NULL, NULL) = -1 ECONNRESET (Connection reset by peer)

syslog shows:
[ 111.205099] TCP recvmsg seq # bug 2: copied 80, seq 0, rcvnxt 80, fl 0

This should not be allowed. TCP_QUEUE_SEQ should only be used
when queues are empty.

This patch fixes this case, and the tx path as well.
