[PATCH net v4 1/2] tcp: clamp return value of tcp_wmem_schedule() to non-negative

When sk_wmem_schedule(sk, copy) fails under TCP memory pressure and
sk->sk_wmem_queued already reaches or exceeds sysctl_tcp_wmem[0],
tcp_wmem_schedule() returns min(copy, sk->sk_forward_alloc).

However, sk->sk_forward_alloc is a signed int that can transiently
become negative when tcp_collapse() re-packs partially read or high
payload-to-truesize SKBs in the receive queue and charges newly
allocated SKBs via sk_mem_charge() before freeing the original SKB.

If tcp_wmem_schedule() returns a negative value, tcp_sendmsg_locked()
passes that negative copy length to skb_copy_to_page_nocache() ->
copy_from_iter_full() -> check_copy_size(), where it is converted to an
unsigned size_t > INT_MAX, triggering a WARN_ON_ONCE(bytes > INT_MAX)
in production and returning -EFAULT instead of waiting for memory or
returning -EAGAIN:

  WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 939331 at include/linux/thread_info.h:249 tcp_sendmsg+0x10c1/0x1530
  Call Trace:
   <TASK>
   __sys_sendmsg+0x292/0x490
   do_syscall_64+0x88/0x340
   entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x76/0x7e

Clamp the return value of tcp_wmem_schedule() to [0, copy] so callers
treat negative sk_forward_alloc as 0 available bytes.
