[ Upstream commit c8770db2d54437a5f49417ae7b46f7de23d14db6 ]
We have some machines running stock Ubuntu 20.04.6 which is their 5.4.0-174-generic kernel that are running ceph and recently hit a null ptr dereference in tcp_rearm_rto(). Initially hitting it from the TLP path, but then later we also saw it getting hit from the RACK case as well. Here are examples of the oops messages we saw in each of those cases:

The NULL ptr deref is coming from tcp_rto_delta_us() attempting to pull an skb off the head of the retransmit queue and then dereferencing that skb to get the skb_mstamp_ns value via tcp_skb_timestamp_us(skb).
The crash is the same one that was reported a # of years ago here: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/86c0f836-9a7c-438b-d81a-839be45f1f58@gmail.co...
and the kernel we're running has the fix which was added to resolve this issue.
Unfortunately we've been unsuccessful so far in reproducing this problem in the lab and do not have the luxury of pushing out a new kernel to try and test if newer kernels resolve this issue at the moment. I realize this is a report against both an Ubuntu kernel and also an older 5.4 kernel. I have reported this issue to Ubuntu here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/2077657 however I feel like since this issue has possibly cropped up again it makes sense to build in some protection in this path (even on the latest kernel versions) since the code in question just blindly assumes there's a valid skb without testing if it's NULL b/f it looks at the timestamp.
Given we have seen crashes in this path before and now this case it seems like we should protect ourselves for when packets_out accounting is incorrect. While we should fix that root cause we should also just make sure the skb is not NULL before dereferencing it. Also add a warn once here to capture some information if/when the problem case is hit again.
