Subject: [PATCH] tcp: possible race between tcp_done() and tcp_poll()

Similar to commit a4d258036ed9b2a1811.

Between receiving a packet and tcp_poll(), sk->sk_err is protected by memory barriers but
sk->sk_shutdown and sk->sk_state are not. So possibly, POLLIN|POLLRDNORM|POLLRDHUP might
not be set even when receiving a RST packet.
