After commit 87952603 ("mptcp: protect the rx path with
the msk socket spinlock") the rmem currently used by a given
msk is really sk_rmem_alloc - rmem_released.

The safety check in mptcp_data_ready() does not take the above
in due account, as a result legit incoming data is kept in
subflow receive queue with no reason, delaying or blocking
MPTCP-level ack generation.

This change addresses the issue introducing a new helper to fetch
the rmem memory and using it as needed. Additionally add a MIB
counter for the exceptional event described above - the peer is
misbehaving.

Finally, introduce the required annotation when rmem_released is
updated.

Fixes: 87952603 ("mptcp: protect the rx path with the msk socket spinlock")
Closes: https://github.com/multipath-tcp/mptcp_net-next/issues/211

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.
