The 'msk->write_seq' and 'msk->snd_nxt' are always updated under the msk socket lock, except at MPC handshake completiont time.
Builds-up on the previous commit to move such init under the relevant lock.
There are no known problems caused by the potential race, the primary goal is consistency.
FYI, because of the various conflicts, and because "there are no known problems caused by the potential race", with Paolo, we think it is best not to backport this patch to v6.1 and older.
Thanks for the review of all of these and letting us know,
