From: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com>

commit b9cd26f640a308ea314ad23532de9a8592cd09d2 upstream.

when inserting not contiguous data in the subflow write queue,
the protocol creates a new skb and prevent the TCP stack from
merging it later with already queued skbs by setting the EOR marker.

Still no push flag is explicitly set at the end of previous GSO
packet, making the aggregation on the receiver side sub-optimal -
and packetdrill self-tests less predictable.

Explicitly mark the end of not contiguous DSS with the push flag.
