New subflows are created within the kernel using O_NONBLOCK, so
EINPROGRESS is the expected return value from kernel_connect().
__mptcp_subflow_connect() has the correct logic to consider EINPROGRESS
to be a successful case, but it has also used that error code as its
return value.
Before v5.19 this was benign: all the callers ignored the return
value. Starting in v5.19 there is a MPTCP_PM_CMD_SUBFLOW_CREATE generic
netlink command that does use the return value, so the EINPROGRESS gets
propagated to userspace.
Make __mptcp_subflow_connect() always return 0 on success instead.

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.
