mptcp: fix integer overflow in mptcp_subflow_discard_data()
Christoph reported an infinite loop in the subflow receive path under stress condition. If there are multiple subflows, each of them using a large send buffer, the delta between the sequence number used by MPTCP-level retransmission can and the current msk->ack_seq can be greater than MAX_INT. In the above scenario, when calling mptcp_subflow_discard_data(), such delta will be truncated to int, and could result in a negative number: no bytes will be dropped, and subflow_check_data_avail() will try again to process the same packet, looping forever. This change addresses the issue by expanding the 'limit' size to 64 bits, so that overflows are not possible anymore.
