tcp: make urg+gso work for real this time 



I should have noticed this earlier... :-) The previous solution
to URG+GSO/TSO will cause SACK block tcp_fragment to do zig-zig
patterns, or even worse, a steep downward slope into packet
counting because each skb pcount would be truncated to pcount
of 2 and then the following fragments of the later portion would
restore the window again.

Basically this reverts "tcp: Do not use TSO/GSO when there is
urgent data" (33cf71ce). It also removes some unnecessary code
from tcp_current_mss that didn't work as intented either (could
be that something was changed down the road, or it might have
been broken since the dawn of time) because it only works once
urg is already written while this bug shows up starting from
~64k before the urg point.

The retransmissions already are split to mss sized chunks, so
only new data sending paths need splitting in case they have
a segment otherwise suitable for gso/tso. The actually check
can be improved to be more narrow but since this is late -rc
already, I'll postpone thinking the more fine-grained things.
