[PATCH net-next] mptcp: reset blackhole on success with non-loopback ifaces

[Matthieu Baerts (NGI0)]

When a first MPTCP connection gets successfully established after a
blackhole period, 'active_disable_times' was supposed to be reset when
this connection was done via any non-loopback interfaces.

Unfortunately, the opposite condition was checked: only reset when the
connection was established via a loopback interface. Fixing this by
simply looking at the opposite.

This is similar to what is done with TCP FastOpen, see
tcp_fastopen_active_disable_ofo_check().

This patch is a follow-up of a previous discussion linked to commit
893c49a78d9f ("mptcp: Use __sk_dst_get() and dst_dev_rcu() in
mptcp_active_enable()."), see [1].

Note: sending this fix to net-next, similar to commits 108a86c71c93
("mptcp: Call dst_release() in mptcp_active_enable().") and 893c49a78d9f
("mptcp: Use __sk_dst_get() and dst_dev_rcu() in mptcp_active_enable().").
Also to avoid conflicts, and because we are close to the merge windows.
