When a subflow receives and discards duplicate data, the mptcp
stack assumes that the consumed offset inside the current skb is
zero.

With multiple subflows receiving data simultaneously such assertion
does not held true. As a result the subflow-level copied_seq will
be incorrectly increased and later on the same subflow will observe
a bad mapping, leading to subflow reset.

Address the issue taking into account the skb consumed offset in
mptcp_subflow_discard_data().

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 reStructuredText 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.
