Paolo Abeni 5a369ca643 tcp: propagate MPTCP skb extensions on xmit splits
When the TCP stack splits a packet on the write queue, the tail
half currently lose the associated skb extensions, and will not
carry the DSM on the wire.

The above does not cause functional problems and is allowed by
the RFC, but interact badly with GRO and RX coalescing, as possible
candidates for aggregation will carry different TCP options.

This change tries to improve the MPTCP behavior, propagating the
skb extensions on split.

Additionally, we must prevent the MPTCP stack from updating the
mapping after the split occur: that will both violate the RFC and
fool the reader.

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.
