    tcp: prevent spurious empty segments and fix uncommon panic
    
    Only try sending more data on pure ACKs when there is
    more data available in the send buffer.
    
    In the case of a retransmitted SYN not being sent due to
    an internal error, the snd_una/snd_nxt accounting could
    be off, leading to a panic. Pulling snd_nxt up to snd_una
    prevents this from happening.
