In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tcp: add sanity tests to TCP_QUEUE_SEQ
Qingyu Li reported a syzkaller bug where the repro changes RCV SEQ after restoring data in the receive queue.

This should not be allowed. TCP_QUEUE_SEQ should only be used when queues are empty.
This patch fixes this case, and the tx path as well.
