If multiple CPUs races on the same req_sock in syn_recv_sock(),
flipping such field can cause inconsistent child socket status.
When racing, the CPU losing the req ownership may still change
the mptcp request socket mp_capable flag while the CPU owning
the request is cloning the socket, leaving the child socket with
'is_mptcp' set but no 'mp_capable' flag.
Such socket will stay with 'conn' field cleared, heading to oops
in later mptcp callback.
Address the issue tracking the fallback status in a local variable.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
