tcp: ensure epoll edge trigger wakeup when write queue is empty
We currently rely on the setting of SOCK_NOSPACE in the write() path to ensure that we wake up any epoll edge trigger waiters when acks return to free space in the write queue. However, if we fail to allocate even a single skb in the write queue, we could end up waiting indefinitely. Fix this by explicitly issuing a wakeup when we detect the condition of an empty write queue and a return value of -EAGAIN. This allows userspace to re-try as we expect this to be a temporary failure. I've tested this approach by artificially making sk_stream_alloc_skb() return NULL periodically. In that case, epoll edge trigger waiters will hang indefinitely in epoll_wait() without this patch.
