Is this what you had in mind?

Trigger user ABORT when a socket is closed which has skbs sitting on
the receive queue. If data was lost, there is no point in doing a
graceful shutdown. This is consistent with TCP behaviour.

This also resolves the situation when a receiver cannot reopen its rwnd
and the sender continues retransmission attempts indefinitely before
initiating the shutdown.
