mptcp: blackhole only if 1st SYN retrans w/o MPC is accepted
commit e598d89 upstream.
The Fixes commit mentioned this:
> An MPTCP firewall blackhole can be detected if the following SYN
> retransmission after a fallback to "plain" TCP is accepted.
But in fact, this blackhole was detected if any following SYN
retransmissions after a fallback to TCP was accepted.
That's because 'mptcp_subflow_early_fallback()' will set 'request_mptcp'
to 0, and 'mpc_drop' will never be reset to 0 after.
This is an issue, because some not so unusual situations might cause the
kernel to detect a false-positive blackhole, e.g. a client trying to
connect to a server while the network is not ready yet, causing a few
SYN retransmissions, before reaching the end server.
Fixes: 27069e7 ("mptcp: disable active MPTCP in case of blackhole")
