tcp: fix possible deadlock in tcp_send_fin() 

Using sk_stream_alloc_skb() in tcp_send_fin() is dangerous in
case a huge process is killed by OOM, and tcp_mem[2] is hit.

To be able to free memory we need to make progress, so this
patch allows FIN packets to not care about tcp_mem[2], if
skb allocation succeeded.

In a follow-up patch, we might abort tcp_send_fin() infinite loop
in case TIF_MEMDIE is set on this thread, as memory allocator
did its best getting extra memory already.

This patch reverts d22e153718 ("tcp: fix tcp fin memory accounting")
