mptcp: fix possible deadlock in subflow_error_report

Browse Source 
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.
