net: rmnet_data: Handle buffer bloat for TCP scenarios
After commit 605ad7f184b60cf ("tcp: refine TSO autosizing"), kernel
throttles uplink TCP data in case there is not sufficient amount
of socket buffer available due to delayed release of buffers
through TX completions in the physical net device.
Work around this by orphaning the socket buffer. This makes the
kernel assume that more packets can be sent in this scenario.
Out of band signaling and flow controlling at qdisc / HTB layer
should guarantee no issue for flow control.
