[TCP] MTUprobe: fix potential sk_send_head corruption
[ Upstream commit: 6e42141009ff18297fe19d19296738b742f861db ]
When the abstraction functions got added, conversion here was
made incorrectly. As a result, the skb may end up pointing
to skb which got included to the probe skb and then was freed.
For it to trigger, however, skb_transmit must fail sending as
well.
