When adding rb-tree for TCP retransmit queue, we inadvertently broke
TCP autocorking.
tcp_should_autocork() should really check if the rtx queue is not empty.
Tested:
Before the fix :
$ nstat -n;./netperf -H 10.246.7.152 -Cc -- -m 500;nstat | grep AutoCork
MIGRATED TCP STREAM TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to 10.246.7.152 () port 0 AF_INET

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
