tcp: Don't change unlocked socket state in tcp_v4_err().
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Alexey Kuznetsov noticed a regression introduced by
commit f1ecd5d
("Revert Backoff [v3]: Revert RTO on ICMP destination unreachable")

The RTO and timer modification code added to tcp_v4_err()
doesn't check sock_owned_by_user(), which if true means we
don't have exclusive access to the socket and therefore cannot
modify it's critical state.

Just skip this new code block if sock_owned_by_user() is true
and eliminate the now superfluous sock_owned_by_user() code
block contained within.
