On passive MPTCP connections, the MPTCP socket send buffer doesn't have
the expected size at accept() time.
Patch 1 fixes the regression introduced in v6.7, while the following one
validates the fix in the selftests.

From: Gang Yan <yangang@kylinos.cn>
On passive MPTCP connections, the msk sndbuf is not updated correctly.
The root cause is an order issue in the accept path:
- tcp_check_req() -> subflow_syn_recv_sock() -> mptcp_sk_clone_init()
calls __mptcp_propagate_sndbuf() to copy the ssk sndbuf into msk
- Later, tcp_child_process() -> tcp_init_transfer() ->
tcp_sndbuf_expand() grows the ssk sndbuf.
So __mptcp_propagate_sndbuf() runs before the ssk sndbuf has been
expanded and the msk ends up with a much smaller sndbuf than the
subflow:
MPTCP: msk->sndbuf:20480, msk->first->sndbuf:2626560
Fix this by moving the __mptcp_propagate_sndbuf() call from
mptcp_sk_clone_init() -- the ssk sndbuf is not yet finalized there -- to
__mptcp_propagate_sndbuf() at accept() time, when the ssk sndbuf has
been fully expanded by tcp_sndbuf_expand().

Add a new chk_sndbuf() helper to diag.sh that extracts the sndbuf
(the 'tb' field from 'ss -m' skmem output) for both server and
client MPTCP sockets, and verifies they are equal.
Without the previous patch, it will fail:
'''
07 ....chk sndbuf server/client [FAIL] sndbuf S=20480 != C=2630656
'''
