    mptcp: add annotations around msk->subflow accesses
    
    [ Upstream commit 5b825727d0871b23e8867f6371183e61628b4a26 ]
    
    The MPTCP can access the first subflow socket in a few spots
    outside the socket lock scope. That is actually safe, as MPTCP
    will delete the socket itself only after the msk sock close().
    
    Still the such accesses causes a few KCSAN splats, as reported
    by Christoph. Silence the harmless warning adding a few annotation
    around the relevant accesses.
