tcp: fix crash in tcp_xmit_retransmit_queue
It can happen that there are no packets in queue while calling tcp_xmit_retransmit_queue(). tcp_write_queue_head() then returns NULL and that gets deref'ed to get sacked into a local var. There is no work to do if no packets are outstanding so we just exit early. This oops was introduced by 08ebd1721ab8fd (tcp: remove tp->lost_out guard to make joining diff nicer).
