</TASK>

The root cause is the bad handling of disconnect() generated internally

by the MPTCP protocol in case of connect FASTOPEN errors.

Address the issue increasing the socket disconnect counter even on such

a case, to allow other threads waiting on the same socket lock to

properly error out.
