Subject: [PATCH] mptcp: fix duplicate reset on fastclose

The CI reports sporadic failures of the fastclose self-tests. The root
cause is a duplicate reset, not carrying the relevant MPTCP option.
In the failing scenario the bad reset is received by the peer before
the fastclose one, preventing the reception of the latter.

Indeed there is window of opportunity at fastclose time for the
following race:

  mptcp_do_fastclose
    __mptcp_close_ssk
      __tcp_close()
        tcp_set_state() [1]
        tcp_send_active_reset() [2]

After [1] the stack will send reset to in-flight data reaching the now
closed port. Such reset may race with [2].

Address the issue explicitly sending a single reset on fastclose before
explicitly moving the subflow to close status.
