Paolo Abeni 17b470ee53 mptcp: schedule rtx timer only after pushing data
commit 2ea6190f42d0416a4310e60a7fcb0b49fcbbd4fb upstream.

The MPTCP protocol usually schedule the retransmission timer only
when there is some chances for such retransmissions to happen.

With a notable exception: __mptcp_push_pending() currently schedule
such timer unconditionally, potentially leading to unnecessary rtx
timer expiration.

The issue is present since the blamed commit below but become easily
reproducible after commit 27b0e701d387 ("mptcp: drop bogus optimization
in __mptcp_check_push()")

Fixes: 33d41c9cd7 ("mptcp: more accurate timeout")

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.
