6.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Paolo Abeni pabeni@redhat.com
commit a824084b98d8a1dbd6e85d0842a8eb5e73467f59 upstream.
Since commit 72377ab2d671 ("mptcp: more conservative check for zero probes") the MPTCP-level zero window probe check is always disabled, as the TCP-level write queue always contains at least the newly allocated skb.
Refine the relevant check tacking in account that the above condition and that such skb can have zero length.
