Two upstream commits squashed together for v4.14 stable :
commit 88f8598d0a302a08380eadefd09b9f5cb1c4c428 upstream.
Previously TCP only warns if its RTO timer fires and the
retransmission queue is empty, but it'll cause null pointer
reference later on. It's better to avoid such catastrophic failure
and simply exit with a warning.
Squashed with "tcp: refactor tcp_retransmit_timer()" :
commit 0d580fbd2db084a5c96ee9c00492236a279d5e0f upstream.
It appears linux-4.14 stable needs a backport of commit
88f8598d0a30 ("tcp: exit if nothing to retransmit on RTO timeout")
Since tcp_rtx_queue_empty() is not in pre 4.15 kernels,
let's refactor tcp_retransmit_timer() to only use tcp_rtx_queue_head()

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
