mptcp: clear scheduled subflows on retransmit

Browse source

commit 27fd028601 upstream.

When __mptcp_retrans() kicks-in, it schedules one or more subflows for
retransmission, but such subflows could be actually left alone if there
is no more data to retransmit and/or in case of concurrent fallback.

Scheduled subflows could be processed much later in time, i.e. when new
data will be transmitted, leading to bad subflow selection.

Explicitly clear all scheduled subflows before leaving the
retransmission function.
