Paolo Abeni d21f834855 mptcp: use fastclose on more edge scenarios
Daire reported a user-space application hang-up when the
peer is forcibly closed before the data transfer completion.

The relevant application expects the peer to either
do an application-level clean shutdown or a transport-level
connection reset.

We can accommodate a such user by extending the fastclose
usage: at fd close time, if the msk socket has some unread
data, and at FIN_WAIT timeout.

Note that at MPTCP close time we must ensure that the TCP
subflows will reset: set the linger socket option to a suitable
value.
