mptcp: handle pending data on closed subflow
The PM can close active subflow, e.g. due to ingress RM_ADDR option. Such subflow could carry data still unacked at the MPTCP-level, both in the write and the rtx_queue, which has never reached the other peer. Currently the mptcp-level retransmission will deliver such data, but at a very low rate (at most 1 DSM for each MPTCP rtx interval). We can speed-up the recovery a lot, moving all the unacked in the tcp write_queue, so that it will be pushed again via other subflows, at the speed allowed by them. Also make available the new helper for later patches.
