Subject: [PATCH] mptcp: reset fallback status gracefully at disconnect() time

mptcp_disconnect() clears the fallback bit unconditionally, without
touching the associated flags.

The bit clear is safe, as no fallback operation can race with that --
all subflow are already in TCP_CLOSE status thanks to the previous
FASTCLOSE -- but we need to consistently reset all the fallback related
status.

Also acquire the relevant lock, to avoid fouling static analyzers.
