According to the man page of TCP_CORK [1], if set, don't send out
partial frames. All queued partial frames are sent when option is
cleared again.
When applications call setsockopt to disable TCP_CORK, this call is
protected by lock_sock(), and tries to mod_delayed_work() to 0, in order
to send pending data right now. However, the delayed work smc_tx_work is
also protected by lock_sock(). There introduces lock contention for
sending data.
To fix it, send pending data directly which acts like TCP, without
lock_sock() protected in the context of setsockopt (already lock_sock()ed),
and cancel unnecessary dealyed work, which is protected by lock.
