Subject: [PATCH 5.8 16/16] mptcp: free acked data before waiting for more memory

From: Florian Westphal <fw@...len.de>

[ Upstream commit 1cec170d458b1d18f6f1654ca84c0804a701c5ef ]

After subflow lock is dropped, more wmem might have been made available.

This fixes a deadlock in mptcp_connect.sh 'mmap' mode: wmem is exhausted.
But as the mptcp socket holds on to already-acked data (for retransmit)
no wakeup will occur.

Using 'goto restart' calls mptcp_clean_una(sk) which will free pages
that have been acked completely in the mean time.

Fixes: fb529e62d3f3 ("mptcp: break and restart in case mptcp sndbuf is full")
