mptcp: avoid deadlock on fallback while reinjecting
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mptcp: avoid deadlock on fallback while reinjecting
Jakub reported an MPTCP deadlock at fallback time:
WARNING: possible recursive locking detected
6.18.0-rc7-virtme #1 Not tainted
--------------------------------------------
mptcp_connect/20858 is trying to acquire lock:
ff1100001da18b60 (&msk->fallback_lock){+.-.}-{3:3}, at: __mptcp_try_fallback+0xd8/0x280
but task is already holding lock:
ff1100001da18b60 (&msk->fallback_lock){+.-.}-{3:3}, at: __mptcp_retrans+0x352/0xaa0
other info that might help us debug this:
Possible unsafe locking scenario:

lock(&msk->fallback_lock);

May be due to missing lock nesting notation

The packet scheduler could attempt a reinjection after receiving an
MP_FAIL and before the infinite map has been transmitted, causing a
deadlock since MPTCP needs to do the reinjection atomically from WRT
fallback.
Address the issue explicitly avoiding the reinjection in the critical
scenario. Note that this is the only fallback critical section that
could potentially send packets and hit the double-lock.
