6.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Matthieu Baerts (NGI0) matttbe@kernel.org
commit 8668860b0ad32a13fcd6c94a0995b7aa7638c9ef upstream.
Before this patch, if the checksum was not used, the subflow was only reset if map_data_len was != 0. If there were no MPTCP options or an invalid mapping, map_data_len was not set to the data len, and then the subflow was not reset as it should have been, leaving the MPTCP connection in a wrong fallback mode.
This map_data_len condition has been introduced to handle the reception of the infinite mapping. Instead, a new dedicated mapping error could have been returned and treated as a special case. However, the commit 31bf11de146c ("mptcp: introduce MAPPING_BAD_CSUM") has been introduced by Paolo Abeni soon after, and backported later on to stable. It better handle the csum case, and it means the exception for valid_csum_seen in subflow_can_fallback(), plus this one for the infinite mapping in subflow_check_data_avail(), are no longer needed.
In other words, the code can be simplified there: a fallback should only be done if msk->allow_infinite_fallback is set. This boolean is set to false once MPTCP-specific operations acting on the whole MPTCP connection vs the initial path have been done, e.g. a second path has been created, or an MPTCP re-injection -- yes, possible even with a single subflow. The subflow_can_fallback() helper can then be dropped, and replaced by this single condition.
This also makes the code clearer: a fallback should only be done if it is possible to do so.
While at it, no need to set map_data_len to 0 in get_mapping_status() for the infinite mapping case: it will be set to skb->len just after, at the end of subflow_check_data_avail(), and not read in between.
