[PATCH net 1/2] mptcp: don't orphan ssk in mptcp_close()

From: Matthieu Baerts

From: Menglong Dong <imagedong@xxxxxxxxxxx>

All of the subflows of a msk will be orphaned in mptcp_close(), which
means the subflows are in DEAD state. After then, DATA_FIN will be sent,
and the other side will response with a DATA_ACK for this DATA_FIN.

However, if the other side still has pending data, the data that received
on these subflows will not be passed to the msk, as they are DEAD and
subflow_data_ready() will not be called in tcp_data_ready(). Therefore,
these data can't be acked, and they will be retransmitted again and again,
until timeout.

Fix this by setting ssk->sk_socket and ssk->sk_wq to 'NULL', instead of
orphaning the subflows in __mptcp_close(), as Paolo suggested.
