From: Paolo Abeni <pabeni at redhat.com>

Sashiko noted that retransmission with csum enabled can actually
transmit new data, but currently the relevant code does not update
accordingly snd_nxt.

The may cause incoming ack drop and an endless retransmission loop.

Address the issue incrementing snd_nxt as needed.

Fixes: 4e14867d5e91 ("mptcp: tune re-injections for csum enabled mode")
