and provided a nice reproducer.

The root cause is the current bad handling of racing disconnect.
After the blamed commit below, sk_wait_data() can return (with
error) with the underlying socket disconnected and a zero rcv_mss.

Catch the error and return without performing any additional
operations on the current socket.
