Jianguo Wu 8547ea5f52 mptcp: fix syncookie process if mptcp can not_accept new subflow
Lots of "TCP: tcp_fin: Impossible, sk->sk_state=7" in client side
when doing stress testing using wrk and webfsd.

There are at least two cases may trigger this warning:
1.mptcp is in syncookie, and server recv MP_JOIN SYN request,
  in subflow_check_req(), the mptcp_can_accept_new_subflow()
  return false, so subflow_init_req_cookie_join_save() isn't
  called, i.e. not store the data present in the MP_JOIN syn
  request and the random nonce in hash table - join_entries[],
  but still send synack. When recv 3rd-ack,
  mptcp_token_join_cookie_init_state() will return false, and
  3rd-ack is dropped, then if mptcp conn is closed by client,
  client will send a DATA_FIN and a MPTCP FIN, the DATA_FIN
  doesn't have MP_CAPABLE or MP_JOIN,
  so mptcp_subflow_init_cookie_req() will return 0, and pass
  the cookie check, MP_JOIN request is fallback to normal TCP.
  Server will send a TCP FIN if closed, in client side,
  when process TCP FIN, it will do reset, the code path is:
    tcp_data_queue()->mptcp_incoming_options()
      ->check_fully_established()->mptcp_subflow_reset().
  mptcp_subflow_reset() will set sock state to TCP_CLOSE,
  so tcp_fin will hit TCP_CLOSE, and print the warning.

2.mptcp is in syncookie, and server recv 3rd-ack, in
  mptcp_subflow_init_cookie_req(), mptcp_can_accept_new_subflow()
  return false, and subflow_req->mp_join is not set to 1,
  so in subflow_syn_recv_sock() will not reset the MP_JOIN
  subflow, but fallback to normal TCP, and then the same thing
  happens when server will send a TCP FIN if closed.

For case1, subflow_check_req() return -EPERM,
then tcp_conn_request() will drop MP_JOIN SYN.

For case2, let subflow_syn_recv_sock() call
mptcp_can_accept_new_subflow(), and do fatal fallback, send reset.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
