commit fb7a0d334894206ae35f023a82cad5a290fd7386 upstream.
Christoph reported a splat hinting at a corrupted snd_una:

When fallback to TCP happens early on a client socket, snd_nxt is not yet initialized and any incoming ack will copy such value into snd_una. If the mptcp worker (dumbly) tries mptcp-level re-injection after such ack, that would unconditionally trigger a send buffer cleanup using 'bad' snd_una values.
We could easily disable re-injection for fallback sockets, but such dumb behavior already helped catching a few subtle issues and a very low to zero impact in practice.
Instead address the issue always initializing snd_nxt (and write_seq, for consistency) at connect time.
