commit 5368a67307b3b2c347dc8965ac55b888be665934 upstream.
The '-f' parameter is there to force the kernel to emit MPTCP FASTCLOSE by closing the connection with unread bytes in the receive queue.
The xdisconnect() helper was used to stop the connection, but it does more than that: it will shut it down, then wait before reconnecting to the same address. This causes the mptcp_join's "fastclose test" to fail all the time.
This failure is due to a recent change, with commit 218cc166321f ("selftests: mptcp: avoid spurious errors on disconnect"), but that went unnoticed because the test is currently ignored. The recent modification only shown an existing issue: xdisconnect() doesn't need to be used here, only the shutdown() part is needed.
