Tao Cui 14e9fea30b mptcp: pm: fix extra_subflows underflow on userspace PM subflow creation
The userspace PM increments extra_subflows after __mptcp_subflow_connect()
succeeds, but __mptcp_subflow_connect() calls mptcp_pm_close_subflow()
on failure to roll back the pre-increment done by the kernel PM's fill_*()
helpers. Because the userspace PM hasn't incremented yet at that point,
this decrement is spurious and causes extra_subflows to underflow.

Fix it by aligning the userspace PM with the kernel PM: increment
extra_subflows before calling __mptcp_subflow_connect(), so the existing
error path in subflow.c correctly rolls it back on failure. Also simplify
the error handling by taking pm.lock only when needed for cleanup.
