[PATCH net-2.6] [TCP] MTUprobe: fix potential sk_send_head corruption

[Ilpo Järvinen]

When the abstraction functions got added, conversion was made
here 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, transmit_skb must fail sending as
well.
