Yeah, I'll add a Fixes tag for this commit.

Your suspect should be right. The mptcp_subflow_queue_clean()
should always be called before unaccepted tcp socket and the
corresponding mptcp socket release.
Therefore this change can ensure that the mptcp socket will be
CLOSE state when it is released. I'll remove
mptcp_sock_destruct(), BTW.

Thanks!
