mptcp: process MP_CAPABLE data option



This patch implements the handling of MP_CAPABLE + data option, as per
RFC 6824 bis / RFC 8684: MPTCP v1.

On the server side we can receive the remote key after that the connection
is established. We need to explicitly track the 'missing remote key'
status and avoid emitting a mptcp ack until we get such info.

When a late/retransmitted/OoO pkt carrying MP_CAPABLE[+data] option
is received, we have to propagate the mptcp seq number info to
the msk socket. To avoid ABBA locking issue, explicitly check for
that in recvmsg(), where we own msk and subflow sock locks.

The above also means that an established mp_capable subflow - still
waiting for the remote key - can be 'downgraded' to plain TCP.

Such change could potentially block a reader waiting for new data
forever - as they hook to msk, while later wake-up after the downgrade
will be on subflow only.

The above issue is not handled here, we likely have to get rid of
msk->fallback to handle that cleanly.
