commit ffb8c27b0539dd90262d1021488e7817fae57c42 upstream.
Jakub reported an MPTCP deadlock at fallback time:
WARNING: possible recursive locking detected 6.18.0-rc7-virtme #1 Not tainted -------------------------------------------- mptcp_connect/20858 is trying to acquire lock: ff1100001da18b60 (&msk->fallback_lock){+.-.}-{3:3}, at: __mptcp_try_fallback+0xd8/0x280
but task is already holding lock: ff1100001da18b60 (&msk->fallback_lock){+.-.}-{3:3}, at: __mptcp_retrans+0x352/0xaa0
other info that might help us debug this: Possible unsafe locking scenario:
CPU0 ---- lock(&msk->fallback_lock); lock(&msk->fallback_lock);
*** DEADLOCK ***
May be due to missing lock nesting notation

The packet scheduler could attempt a reinjection after receiving an MP_FAIL and before the infinite map has been transmitted, causing a deadlock since MPTCP needs to do the reinjection atomically from WRT fallback.
Address the issue explicitly avoiding the reinjection in the critical scenario. Note that this is the only fallback critical section that could potentially send packets and hit the double-lock.
