mptcp: faster active backup recovery
The msk can use backup subflows to transmit in-sequence data only if there are no other active subflow. On active backup scenario, the MPTCP connection can do forward progress only due to MPTCP retransmissions - rtx can pick backup subflows. This patch introduces a new flag flow MPTCP subflows: if the underlying TCP connection made no progresses for long time, and there are other less problematic subflows available, the given subflow become stale. Stale subflows are not considered active: if all non backup subflows become stale, the MPTCP scheduler can pick backup subflows for plain transmissions. Stale subflows can return in active state, as soon as any reply from the peer is observed. Active backup scenarios can now leverage the available b/w with no restrinction.
