[PATCH net-next v5 6/6] tls: Flush backlog before waiting for a new record

From: Chuck Lever <[email protected]>

While lock_sock is held, incoming TCP segments land on
sk->sk_backlog rather than sk->sk_receive_queue.
tls_rx_rec_wait() inspects only sk_receive_queue, so
backlog data remains invisible. For non-blocking callers
(read_sock, and recvmsg or splice_read with MSG_DONTWAIT)
this causes a spurious -EAGAIN. For blocking callers it
forces an unnecessary sleep/wakeup cycle.

Flush the backlog inside tls_rx_rec_wait() before checking
sk_receive_queue so the strparser can parse newly-arrived
segments immediately.

Fixes: 20ffc7adf53a ("net/tls: missing received data after fast remote close")
