Subject: [PATCH 5.13 215/223] mptcp: fix masking a bool warning

From: Matthieu Baerts <matthieu.baerts@...sares.net>

commit c4512c63b1193c73b3f09c598a6d0a7f88da1dd8 upstream.

Dan Carpenter reported an issue introduced in
commit fde56eea01f9 ("mptcp: refine mptcp_cleanup_rbuf") where a new
boolean (ack_pending) is masked with 0x9.

This is not the intention to ignore values by using a boolean. This
variable should not have a 'bool' type: we should keep the 'u8' to allow
this comparison.
