[PATCH v3 09/10] tcp: Send a duplicate ACK also on complete sendmsg() failure

[Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>]

...in order to trigger a fast retransmit as soon as possible. There's
no benefit in forcing the sender to wait for a longer time than that.

We already do this on partial failures (short socket writes), but for
historical reason not on complete failures. Make these two cases
consistent between each other.
