Subject: [PATCH] mptcp: update window_clamp on subflows when SO_RCVBUF is set

Add __mptcp_subflow_set_rcvbuf() helper to write the subflow sk_rcvbuf,
but also to call the recently added tcp_set_rcvbuf() helper to update
window_clamp. This is needed because the window clap is updated when
scaling_ratio changes, in tcp_measure_rcv_mss(). Until scaling_ratio
changes, the subflow is stuck with the old window clamp which may be
based on a small initial buffer.

Use this new helper in both mptcp_sol_socket_sync_intval() (setsockopt
path) and sync_socket_options() (new subflow creation path).

Note that this patch depends on commit b025461303d8 ("tcp: update
window_clamp when SO_RCVBUF is set"): it fixes the issue on TCP side,
but the same fix is needed on MPTCP side as well.

Fixes: a2cbb1603943 ("tcp: Update window clamping condition")
