mptcp: sched: check both backup in retrans



commit 2a1f596ebb23eadc0f9b95a8012e18ef76295fc8 upstream.

The 'mptcp_subflow_context' structure has two items related to the
backup flags:

 - 'backup': the subflow has been marked as backup by the other peer

 - 'request_bkup': the backup flag has been set by the host

Looking only at the 'backup' flag can make sense in some cases, but it
is not the behaviour of the default packet scheduler when selecting
paths.

As explained in the commit b6a66e521a20 ("mptcp: sched: check both
directions for backup"), the packet scheduler should look at both flags,
because that was the behaviour from the beginning: the 'backup' flag was
set by accident instead of the 'request_bkup' one. Now that the latter
has been fixed, get_retrans() needs to be adapted as well.
