See my comments in the function.
Is that a potential problem?

static void tcp_write_timer(unsigned long data)
{
struct sock *sk = (struct sock *)data;

bh_lock_sock(sk);
if (!sock_owned_by_user(sk)) {
tcp_write_timer_handler(sk);

//if we arrive here with sk_refcnt=1
//then below sock_put(sk) will also free the sock.
} else {
/* deleguate our work to tcp_release_cb() */
set_bit(TCP_WRITE_TIMER_DEFERRED, &tcp_sk(sk)->tsq_flags);
}
bh_unlock_sock(sk);
sock_put(sk);
}

I think this is safer than your previous fix.

Thanks.
