An orphaned msk releases the used resources via the worker,
when the latter first see the msk in CLOSED status.
If the msk status transitions to TCP_CLOSE in the release callback
invoked by the worker's final release_sock(), such instance of the
workqueue will not take any action.
Additionally the MPTCP code prevents scheduling the worker once the
socket reaches the CLOSE status: such msk resources will be leaked.
The only code path that can trigger the above scenario is the
__mptcp_check_send_data_fin() in fallback mode.
Address the issue removing the special handling of fallback socket
in __mptcp_check_send_data_fin(), consolidating the state machine
for fallback and non fallback socket.
Since non-fallback sockets do not send and do not receive data_fin,
the mptcp code can update the msk internal status to match the next
step in the SM every time data fin (ack) should be generated or
received.
As a consequence we can remove a bunch of checks for fallback from
the fastpath.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
