3.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Eric Dumazet <eduma...@google.com>

[ Upstream commit d83769a580f1132ac26439f50068a29b02be535e ]

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 d22e15371811 ("tcp: fix tcp fin memory accounting")
