Doron Roberts-Kedes 977c7114eb strparser: Remove early eaten to fix full tcp receive buffer stall
On receving an incomplete message, the existing code stores the
remaining length of the cloned skb in the early_eaten field instead of
incrementing the value returned by __strp_recv. This defers invocation
of sock_rfree for the current skb until the next invocation of
__strp_recv, which returns early_eaten if early_eaten is non-zero.

This behavior causes a stall when the current message occupies the very
tail end of a massive skb, and strp_peek/need_bytes indicates that the
remainder of the current message has yet to arrive on the socket. The
TCP receive buffer is totally full, causing the TCP window to go to
zero, so the remainder of the message will never arrive.

Incrementing the value returned by __strp_recv by the amount otherwise
stored in early_eaten prevents stalls of this nature.
