One more skb_queue_next() BUG trigger.  I double audited the
remaining tcp_write_queue_next() cases and they should all
be good.

tcp: Fix queue traversal in tcp_use_frto().

We must check tcp_skb_is_last() before doing a tcp_write_queue_next().

For the record (as you probably know it already), this wasn't actually
a real bug though it hits your BUG_ON since tcp_for_write_queue_from exits
immediately, no garbage gets dereferenced.

Yes, that is correct.

It is actually disappointing for me, I thought maybe it would catch
a real bug somewhere :-)

Rest assured, it will definately do that once some rewrite or so 
happens... :-)
