mptcp: avoid unneeded subflow-level drops
The rcv window is shared among all the subflows. Currently, MPTCP sync the TCP-level rcv window with the MPTCP one at tcp_transmit_skb() time. The above means that incoming data may sporadically observe outdated TCP-level rcv window and being wrongly dropped by TCP. Address the issue checking for the edge condition before queuing the data at TCP level, and eventually syncing the rcv window as needed. Note that the issue is actually present from the very first MPTCP implementation, but backports older than the blamed commit below will range from impossible to useless.
