Currently the in-kernel PM arbitrary enforces that created subflow's family must match the main MPTCP socket while the RFC allows mixing IPv4 and IPv6 subflows. This patch changes the in-kernel PM logic to create subflows matching the currently selected source (or destination) address. IPv4 sockets can pick only IPv4 addresses (and v4 mapped in v6), while IPv6 sockets not restricted to V6ONLY can pick either IPv4 and IPv6 addresses as long as the source and destination matches. A helper, previously introduced is used to ease family matching checks, taking care of IPv4 vs IPv4-mapped-IPv6 vs IPv6 only addresses.

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.
