New Revision: 228193
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/228193

Log:
  Tweak the r137233 fix to r136283 -- Code was making two send() attempts
  vs. the comment documented "If we are working with a privileged socket,
  then take only one attempt".  Make the code match.
  
  Furthermore, critical privileged applications that [over] log a vast amount
  can look like a DoS to this code.  Given it's unlikely the single reattempted
  send() will succeeded, avoid usurping the scheduler in a library API for a
  single non-critical facility in critical applications.
