tcp: purge write queue upon RST
When the connection is reset, there is no point in keeping the packets on the write queue until the connection is closed. RFC 793 (page 70) and RFC 793-bis (page 64) both suggest purging the write queue upon RST: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-tcpm-rfc793bis-07 Moreover, this is essential for a correct MSG_ZEROCOPY implementation, because userspace cannot call close(fd) before receiving zerocopy signals even when the connection is reset.
