[ Upstream commit b2b7af861122a0c0f6260155c29a1b2e594cd5b5 ]
TCP loss probe timer may fire when the retranmission queue is empty but has a non-zero tp->packets_out counter. tcp_send_loss_probe will call tcp_rearm_rto which triggers NULL pointer reference by fetching the retranmission queue head in its sub-routines.
Add a more detailed warning to help catch the root cause of the inflight accounting inconsistency.
