With TCP Fast Open on an MPTCP listener, if the server application
writes data while the passive subflow is still in SYN_RECV (after
consuming the client's SYN data but before the MP_CAPABLE third ACK
arrives), __mptcp_subflow_active() refuses transmission and the data
is queued into the msk write queue.

When the MPC third ACK arrives, the subflow transitions to
TCP_ESTABLISHED and is marked fully established in
check_fully_established(), but because the third ACK carries no
DSS data, the queued bytes remain stranded until the peer sends
more data.

Fix this in check_fully_established() by checking if the subflow
was doing passive TFO (subflow->is_mptfo). Under mptcp_data_lock(),
flush queued bytes via __mptcp_check_push() and clear is_mptfo.

v2 -> v3:
 - Move the push and is_mptfo reset directly into check_fully_established()
   under mptcp_data_lock(), avoiding any potential race in subflow_state_change()
   which could clear is_mptfo before check_fully_established() processes the 3rd ACK.
v1 -> v2:
 - Use __mptcp_check_push() under mptcp_data_lock() instead of mptcp_push_pending().
