Currently if we hit an MP_JOIN failure on the third ack, the child socket is
closed with reset, but the request socket is not deleted, causing weird
behaviors.

The main problem is that MPTCP's MP_JOIN code needs to plug it's own
'valid 3rd ack' checks and the current TCP callbacks do not allow that.

This series tries to address the above shortcoming introducing a new MPTCP
specific bit in a 'struct sock' hole, and leveraging that to allow
tcp_check_req releasing the request socket when needed.

The above allows cleaning-up a bit current MPTCP hooking in tcp_check_req().

An alternative solution, possibly cleaner but more invasive, would be
changing the 'bool *own_req' syn_recv_sock() argument into 'int *req_status'
and let MPTCP set it to 'REQ_DROP'.

Paolo Abeni (3):
  mptcp: add new sock flag to deal with join subflows
  inet_connection_sock: factor out destroy helper.
  mptcp: cope better with MP_JOIN failure
