mptcp_subflow_data_available() is commonly called via ssk->sk_data_ready(), in this case the mptcp socket lock cannot be acquired. Therefore, while we can safely discard subflow data that was already received up to msk->ack_seq, we cannot be sure that 'subflow->data_avail' will still be valid at the time userspace wants to read the data -- a previous read on a different subflow might have carried this data already. In that (unlikely) event, msk->ack_seq will have been updated and will be ahead of the subflow dsn. We can check for this condition and skip/resync to the expected sequence number.
