The panic issue was trigered by tcp simultaneous initiation.
The initiation process is as follows:

      TCP A                                            TCP B

  1.  CLOSED                                           CLOSED

  2.  SYN-SENT     --> <SEQ=100><CTL=SYN>              ...

  3.  SYN-RECEIVED <-- <SEQ=300><CTL=SYN>              <-- SYN-SENT

  4.               ... <SEQ=100><CTL=SYN>              --> SYN-RECEIVED

  5.  SYN-RECEIVED --> <SEQ=100><ACK=301><CTL=SYN,ACK> ...

  // TCP B: not send challenge ack for ack limit or packet loss
  // TCP A: close
	tcp_close
	   tcp_send_fin
              if (!tskb && tcp_under_memory_pressure(sk))
                  tskb = skb_rb_last(&sk->tcp_rtx_queue); //pick SYN_ACK packet
           TCP_SKB_CB(tskb)->tcp_flags |= TCPHDR_FIN;  // set FIN flag

  6.  FIN_WAIT_1  --> <SEQ=100><ACK=301><END_SEQ=102><CTL=SYN,FIN,ACK> ...

  // TCP B: send challenge ack to SYN_FIN_ACK

  7.               ... <SEQ=301><ACK=101><CTL=ACK>   <-- SYN-RECEIVED //challenge ack

  // TCP A:  <SND.UNA=101>

  8.  FIN_WAIT_1 --> <SEQ=101><ACK=301><END_SEQ=102><CTL=SYN,FIN,ACK> ... // retransmit panic

	__tcp_retransmit_skb  //skb->len=0
	    tcp_trim_head
		len = tp->snd_una - TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->seq // len=101-100
		    __pskb_trim_head
			skb->data_len -= len // skb->len=-1, wrap around
	    ... ...
	    ip_fragment
		icmp_glue_bits //BUG_ON

If we use tcp_trim_head() to remove acked SYN from packet that contains data
or other flags, skb->len will be incorrectly decremented. We can remove SYN
flag that has been acked from rtx_queue earlier than tcp_trim_head(), which
can fix the problem mentioned above.
