Subject: [PATCH net 3/4] mptcp: avoid bogus reset on fallback close

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

Since the blamed commit, the MPTCP protocol unconditionally sends
TCP resets on all the subflows on disconnect().

That fits full-blown MPTCP sockets - to implement the fastclose
mechanism - but causes unexpected corruption of the data stream,
caught as sporadic self-tests failures.

Fixes: d21f83485518 ("mptcp: use fastclose on more edge scenarios")
Cc: stable@...r.kernel.org
Tested-by: Matthieu Baerts <matthieu.baerts@...sares.net>
Closes: https://github.com/multipath-tcp/mptcp_net-next/issues/419
