Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mptcp: Initialise rcv_mss before calling tcp_send_active_reset() in mptcp_do_fastclose().

syzbot reported divide-by-zero in __tcp_select_window() by
MPTCP socket. [0]

We had a similar issue for the bare TCP and fixed in commit
499350a5a6e7 ("tcp: initialize rcv_mss to TCP_MIN_MSS instead
of 0").

Let's apply the same fix to mptcp_do_fastclose().
