mptcp: fix ack generation for fallback msk

Browse source 
commit 5e15395f6d upstream.

mptcp_cleanup_rbuf() needs to know the last most recent, mptcp-level
rcv_wnd sent, and such information is tracked into the msk->old_wspace
field, updated at ack transmission time by mptcp_write_options().

Fallback socket do not add any mptcp options, such helper is never
invoked, and msk->old_wspace value remain stale. That in turn makes
ack generation at recvmsg() time quite random.

Address the issue ensuring mptcp_write_options() is invoked even for
fallback sockets, and just update the needed info in such a case.

The issue went unnoticed for a long time, as mptcp currently overshots
the fallback socket receive buffer autotune significantly. It is going
to change in the near future.
