Christoph reported an infinite loop in the subflow receive path
under stress condition.
If there are multiple subflows, each of them using a large send
buffer, the delta between the sequence number used by
MPTCP-level retransmission can and the current msk->ack_seq
can be greater than MAX_INT.
In the above scenario, when calling mptcp_subflow_discard_data(),
such delta will be truncated to int, and could result in a negative
number: no bytes will be dropped, and subflow_check_data_avail()
will try again to process the same packet, looping forever.
This change addresses the issue by expanding the 'limit' size to 64
bits, so that overflows are not possible anymore.
