Subject: [PATCH] mptcp: sync the msk->sndbuf at accept() time

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().
