Merge branch 'MPTCP-improve-fallback-to-TCP'

Davide Caratti says:

====================
MPTCP: improve fallback to TCP

there are situations where MPTCP sockets should fall-back to regular TCP:
this series reworks the fallback code to pursue the following goals:

1) cleanup the non fallback code, removing most of 'if (<fallback>)' in
   the data path
2) improve performance for non-fallback sockets, avoiding locks in poll()

further work will also leverage on this changes to achieve:

a) more consistent behavior of gestockopt()/setsockopt() on passive sockets
   after fallback
b) support for "infinite maps" as per RFC8684, section 3.7

the series is made of the following items:

- patch 1 lets sendmsg() / recvmsg() / poll() use the main socket also
  after fallback
- patch 2 fixes 'simultaneous connect' scenario after fallback. The
  problem was present also before the rework, but the fix is much easier
  to implement after patch 1
- patch 3, 4, 5 are clean-ups for code that is no more needed after the
  fallback rework
- patch 6 fixes a race condition between close() and poll(). The problem
  was theoretically present before the rework, but it became almost
  systematic after patch 1
