mptcp: avoid sending RST when closing the initial subflow

When closing the first subflow, the MPTCP protocol unconditionally
calls tcp_disconnect(), which in turn generates a reset if the subflow
is established.

That is unexpected and different from what MPTCP does with MPJ
subflows, where resets are generated only on FASTCLOSE and other edge
scenarios.

We can't reuse for the first subflow the same code in place for MPJ
subflows, as MPTCP clean them up completely via a tcp_close() call,
while must keep the first subflow socket alive for later re-usage, due
to implementation constraints.

This patch adds a new helper __mptcp_subflow_disconnect() that
encapsulates, a logic similar to tcp_close, issuing a reset only when
the MPTCP_CF_FASTCLOSE flag is set, and performing a clean shutdown
otherwise.
