Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 09/11] tcp: Check for filled TCP option space before SACK

Update the SACK check to work with zero option space available, a case
that's possible with MPTCP but not MD5+TS. Maintained only one
conditional branch for insufficient SACK space.

Changes for v2:

Takes recent SACK fix (9424e2e7ad93ffff) in to account, but modifies it
to work in MPTCP scenarios beyond the MD5+TS corner case. Given the
discussion on the v1 patch, we are including this in the patch set
again but can drop it and respin for -net if it qualifies as a bug fix.
