mptcp: fix possible deadlock in subflow_error_report
Christoph reported a possible deadlock while the TCP stack destroys an unaccepted subflow due to an incoming reset: the MPTCP socket error path tries to acquire the msk-level socket lock while TCP still owns the listener socket accept queue spinlock, and the reverse dependency already exists in the TCP stack. Note that the above is actually a lockdep false positive, as the chain involves two separate sockets. A different per-socket lockdep key will address the issue, but such a change will be quite invasive. Instead, we can simply stop earlier the socket error handling for orphaned or unaccepted subflows, breaking the critical lockdep chain. Error handling in such a scenario is a no-op.
