Subject: [PATCH] Fix frag list handling in TCP splice receive

If an skb does not have fragments but its fragment list is not empty (can
happen, via LRO at least) and a previous tcp_read_sock has consumed
the linear part of the skb then __skb_splice_bits:

(a) incorrectly reports an error and

(b) forgets to update the offset to account for the linear part

Any of the two problems will cause the subsequent __skb_splice_bits call
(the one that handles the fragment list skbs) to either skip data, or, if the
unadjusted offset is greater then the size of the next skb, make
tcp_splice_read loop forever.
