mptcp: mib: count MPJ with backup flag

commit 4dde0d72ccec500c60c798e036b852e013d6e124 upstream.

Without such counters, it is difficult to easily debug issues with MPJ
not having the backup flags on production servers.

This is not strictly a fix, but it eases to validate the following
patches without requiring to take packet traces, to query ongoing
connections with Netlink with admin permissions, or to guess by looking
at the behaviour of the packet scheduler. Also, the modification is self
contained, isolated, well controlled, and the increments are done just
after others, there from the beginning. It looks then safe, and helpful
to backport this.
