Subject: [PATCH net-next 08/14] mptcp: do not miss early first subflow
 close event notification

From: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@...hat.com>

The MPTCP protocol is not currently emitting the NL event when the first
subflow is closed before msk accept() time.

By replacing the in use close helper is such scenario, implicitly introduce
the missing notification. Note that in such scenario we want to be sure
that mptcp_close_ssk() will not trigger any PM work, move the msk state
change update earlier, so that the previous patch will offer such
guarantee.
