From: Menglong Dong <imagedong@xxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit fe94800184f22d4778628f1321dce5acb7513d84 ] All of the subflows of a msk will be orphaned in mptcp_close(), which means the subflows are in DEAD state. After then, DATA_FIN will be sent, and the other side will response with a DATA_ACK for this DATA_FIN. However, if the other side still has pending data, the data that received on these subflows will not be passed to the msk, as they are DEAD and subflow_data_ready() will not be called in tcp_data_ready(). Therefore, these data can't be acked, and they will be retransmitted again and again, until timeout. Fix this by setting ssk->sk_socket and ssk->sk_wq to 'NULL', instead of orphaning the subflows in __mptcp_close(), as Paolo suggested.
