mainlining shenanigans

If userspace is not reading data, all the mptcp-level acks contain the ack_seq from the last time userspace read data rather than the most recent in-sequence value. This causes pointless retransmissions for data that is already queued. The reason for this is that all the mptcp protocol level processing happens at mptcp_recv time. This adds work queue to move skbs from the subflow sockets receive queue on the mptcp socket receive queue (which was not used so far). This allows us to announce the correct mptcp ack sequence in a timely fashion, even when the application does not call recv() on the mptcp socket for some time. We still wake userspace tasks waiting for POLLIN immediately: If the mptcp level receive queue is empty (because the work queue is still pending) it can be filled from in-sequence subflow sockets at recv time without a need to wait for the worker. The skb_orphan when moving skbs from subflow to mptcp level is needed, because the destructor (sock_rfree) relies on skb->sk (ssk!) lock being taken. A followup patch will add needed rmem accouting for the moved skbs. Other problem: In case application behaves as expected, and calls recv() as soon as mptcp socket becomes readable, the work queue will only waste cpu cycles. This will also be addressed in followup patches. Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de> Reviewed-by: Mat Martineau <mathew.j.martineau@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
