When an mptcp socket connects to a tcp peer or when a middlebox interferes
with tcp options, mptcp needs to fall back to plain tcp.
Problem is that mptcp is trying to be too clever in this case:
It attempts to close the mptcp meta sk and transparently replace it with
the (only) subflow tcp sk.
Unfortunately, this is racy -- the socket is already exposed to userspace.
Any parallel calls to send/recv/setsockopt etc. can cause use-after-free:
While the use-after-free can be resolved, there is another problem:
sock->ops and sock->sk assignments are not atomic, i.e. we may get calls
into mptcp functions with sock->sk already pointing at the subflow socket,
or calls into tcp functions with a mptcp meta sk.
Remove the fallback code and call the relevant functions for the (only)
subflow in case the mptcp socket is connected to tcp peer.
