CVE-2021-47590

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mptcp: fix deadlock in __mptcp_push_pending()

__mptcp_push_pending() may call mptcp_flush_join_list() with subflow
socket lock held. If such call hits mptcp_sockopt_sync_all() then
subsequently __mptcp_sockopt_sync() could try to lock the subflow
socket for itself, causing a deadlock.

Fix the issue by using __mptcp_flush_join_list() instead of plain
mptcp_flush_join_list() inside __mptcp_push_pending(), as suggested by
Florian. The sockopt sync will be deferred to the workqueue.
