mainlining shenanigans
1094c6fe72
Florian noted that if mptcp_alloc_tx_skb() allocation fails
in __mptcp_push_pending(), we can end-up invoking
mptcp_push_release()/tcp_push() with a zero mss, causing
a divide by 0 error.
This change addresses the issue refactoring the skb allocation
code checking if skb collapsing will happen for sure and doing
the skb allocation only after such check. Skb allocation will
now happen only after the call to tcp_send_mss() which
correctly initializes mss_now.
As side bonuses we now fill the skb tx cache only when needed,
and this also clean-up a bit the output path.
v1 -> v2:
- use lockdep_assert_held_once() - Jakub
- fix indentation - Jakub

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.
