Paolo Abeni 90bf45134d mptcp: add new sock flag to deal with join subflows
MP_JOIN subflows must not land into the accept queue.
Currently tcp_check_req() calls an mptcp specific helper
to detect such scenario.

Such helper leverages the subflow context to check for
MP_JOIN subflows. We need to deal also with MP JOIN
failures, even when the subflow context is not available
due allocation failure.

A possible solution would be changing the syn_recv_sock()
signature to allow returning a more descriptive action/
error code and deal with that in tcp_check_req().

Since the above need is MPTCP specific, this patch instead
uses a TCP request socket hole to add a MPTCP specific flag.
Such flag is used by the MPTCP syn_recv_sock() to tell
tcp_check_req() how to deal with the request socket.

This change is a no-op for !MPTCP build, and makes the
MPTCP code simpler. It allows also the next patch to deal
correctly with MP JOIN failure.

v1 -> v2:
 - be more conservative on drop_req initialization (Mat)

RFC -> v1:
 - move the drop_req bit inside tcp_request_sock (Eric)

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.
