Paolo Abeni 3d513efe18 mptcp: fix ack generation for fallback msk
commit 5e15395f6d upstream.

mptcp_cleanup_rbuf() needs to know the last most recent, mptcp-level
rcv_wnd sent, and such information is tracked into the msk->old_wspace
field, updated at ack transmission time by mptcp_write_options().

Fallback socket do not add any mptcp options, such helper is never
invoked, and msk->old_wspace value remain stale. That in turn makes
ack generation at recvmsg() time quite random.

Address the issue ensuring mptcp_write_options() is invoked even for
fallback sockets, and just update the needed info in such a case.

The issue went unnoticed for a long time, as mptcp currently overshots
the fallback socket receive buffer autotune significantly. It is going
to change in the near future.

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.
