mptcp: fix receive space timestamp initialization

Browse source

[ Upstream commit 70274765fe ]

MPTCP initialize the receive buffer stamp in mptcp_rcv_space_init(),
using the provided subflow stamp. Such helper is invoked in several
places; for passive sockets, space init happened at clone time.

In such scenario, MPTCP ends-up accesses the subflow stamp before
its initialization, leading to quite randomic timing for the first
receive buffer auto-tune event, as the timestamp for newly created
subflow is not refreshed there.

Fix the issue moving the stamp initialization out of the mentioned helper,
at the data transfer start, and always using a fresh timestamp.
