tcp: fix race in tcp_write_err()

Browse Source 
I noticed flakes in a packetdrill test, expecting an epoll_wait()
to return EPOLLERR | EPOLLHUP on a failed connect() attempt,
after multiple SYN retransmits. It sometimes return EPOLLERR only.

The issue is that tcp_write_err():
 1) writes an error in sk->sk_err,
 2) calls sk_error_report(),
 3) then calls tcp_done().

tcp_done() is writing SHUTDOWN_MASK into sk->sk_shutdown,
among other things.

Problem is that the awaken user thread (from 2) sk_error_report())
might call tcp_poll() before tcp_done() has written sk->sk_shutdown.

tcp_poll() only sees a non zero sk->sk_err and returns EPOLLERR.

This patch fixes the issue by making sure to call sk_error_report()
after tcp_done().

tcp_write_err() also lacks an smp_wmb().

We can reuse tcp_done_with_error() to factor out the details,
as Neal suggested.
