mptcp: fix connect timeout handling

Ondrej reported a functional issue WRT timeout handling on connect
with a nice reproducer.

The problem is that the current mptcp connect waits for both the
MPTCP socket level timeout, and the first subflow socket timeout.
The latter is not influenced/touched by the exposed setsockopt().

Overall the above makes the SO_SNDTIMEO a no-op on connect.

Since mptcp_connect is invoked via inet_stream_connect and the
latter properly handle the MPTCP level timeout, we can address the
issue making the nested subflow level connect always unblocking.

This also allow simplifying a bit the code, dropping an ugly hack
to handle the fastopen and custom proto_ops connect.

The issues predates the blamed commit below, but the current resolution
requires the infrastructure introduced there.
