Summary
mptcp: fix soft lockup in mptcp_recvmsg()
Details

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

mptcp: fix soft lockup in mptcp_recvmsg()

syzbot reported a soft lockup in mptcp_recvmsg() [0].

When receiving data with MSG_PEEK | MSG_WAITALL flags, the skb is not removed from the sk_receive_queue. This causes sk_wait_data() to always find available data and never perform actual waiting, leading to a soft lockup.

Fix this by adding a 'last' parameter to track the last peeked skb. This allows sk_wait_data() to make informed waiting decisions and prevent infinite loops when MSG_PEEK is used.
