mptcp: Avoid acquiring PM lock for subflow priority changes

The in-kernel path manager code for changing subflow flags acquired both
the msk socket lock and the PM lock when possibly changing the "backup"
and "fullmesh" flags. mptcp_pm_nl_mp_prio_send_ack() does not access
anything protected by the PM lock, and it must release and reacquire
the PM lock.

By pushing the PM lock to where it is needed in mptcp_pm_nl_fullmesh(),
the lock is only acquired when the fullmesh flag is changed and the
backup flag code no longer has to release and reacquire the PM lock. The
change in locking context requires the MIB update to be modified - move
that to a better location instead.

This change also makes it possible to call
mptcp_pm_nl_mp_prio_send_ack() for the userspace PM commands without
manipulating the in-kernel PM lock.
