In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mptcp: ensure context reset on disconnect()

After the blamed commit below, if the MPC subflow is already in TCP_CLOSE
status or has fallback to TCP at mptcp_disconnect() time,
mptcp_do_fastclose() skips setting the `send_fastclose flag` and the later
__mptcp_close_ssk() does not reset anymore the related subflow context.

Any later connection will be created with both the `request_mptcp` flag
and the msk-level fallback status off (it is unconditionally cleared at
MPTCP disconnect time), leading to a warning in subflow_data_ready():

Address the issue setting an explicit `fastclosing` flag at fastclose
time, and checking such flag after mptcp_do_fastclose().
