mptcp: fix sleep in atomic at close time

Matt reported a splat at msk close time:

BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at net/mptcp/protocol.c:2877

We can't call mptcp_close under the 'fast' socket lock variant, replace
it with a sock_lock_nested() as the relevant code is already under the
listening msk socket lock protection.
