[PATCH net 1/5] mptcp: avoid dup SUB_CLOSED events after disconnect

From: "Matthieu Baerts (NGI0)" <matttbe@kernel.org>

In case of subflow disconnect(), which can also happen with the first
subflow in case of errors like timeout or reset, mptcp_subflow_ctx_reset
will reset most fields from the mptcp_subflow_context structure,
including close_event_done. Then, when another subflow is closed, yet
another SUB_CLOSED event for the disconnected initial subflow is sent.
Because of the previous reset, there are no source address and
destination port.

A solution is then to also check the subflow's local id: it shouldn't be
negative anyway.

Another solution would be not to reset subflow->close_event_done at
disconnect time, but when reused. But then, probably the whole reset
could be done when being reused. Let's not change this logic, similar
to TCP with tcp_disconnect().
