Precedence: bulk

Daire reported a few issues with MPTCP where some connections were
stalled in different states. Paolo did a great job fixing them.

Patch 1 fixes bogus receive window shrinkage with multiple subflows. Due
to a race condition and unlucky circumstances, that may lead to
TCP-level window shrinkage, and the connection being stalled on the
sender end.

Patch 2 is a preparation for patch 3 which processes pending subflow
errors on close. Without that and under specific circumstances, the
MPTCP-level socket might not switch to the CLOSE state and stall.

Patch 4 is also a preparation patch for the next one. Patch 5 fixes
MPTCP connections not switching to the CLOSE state when all subflows
have been closed but no DATA_FIN have been exchanged to explicitly close
the MPTCP connection. Now connections in such state will switch to the
CLOSE state after a timeout, still allowing the "make-after-break"
feature but making sure connections don't stall forever. It will be
possible to modify this timeout -- currently matching TCP TIMEWAIT value
(60 seconds) -- in a future version.
